Happy Christmas eve eve!!! Just 2 days left!

So today we’re talking about basil and coconuts and fake fish! These really don’t taste much like fish sticks by the way, but they look exactly like them and are the perfect vegan alternative to those yummy fried sticks of goodness. You guys all know I’m not a vegetarian so I won’t pretend that I don’t totally love the real thing but I also love hearts of palm. If you aren’t expecting these to be fish sticks then they are really, really good. Oh, and when they are hot with that coconut basil cream, YUM!

Personally I might be willing to step away from a real fish stick in favor of this delicious duo. However, I can’t say the same for the avid carnivores, I’m sorry, guys. They seem a bit attached to their meat.

So I’ve had this recipe idea on my list for the longest time but I’ve never gotten around to doing it for some reason. I don’t know why because it’s extremely easy. In fact, I almost titled this as a two ingredient recipe before I decided to make the coconut basil cream, because (if you don’t count the seasoning) that’s how many ingredients there are, two.

Just hearts of palm and panko breadcrumbs make up the large majority of these snacks.

You can get all technical and add the oil for frying and the different seasonings but you could bypass both by, baking instead of frying and using seasoned breadcrumbs. Voilà! Super easy, super fast, and also totally vegan if that’s what floats you’re boat.
