Green Bean FritesErika Lenkert August 2007 FOUR SERVINGS Prep Time: 10 min Cook Time: 20 min 3/4 cups flour 1/2 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper Vegetable oil, for frying 3/4 pound green beans 1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving
1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Whisk in 3/4 to 1 cup cold water to form a smooth batter. 2. Fill a skillet with enough oil to reach a depth of 1 to 2 inches and heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (drop a bit of batter into the pan; if it sizzles immediately the oil is hot enough). Working in 4 batches, using tongs, dip the beans in the batter and add to the oil. Fry until golden, about 4 minutes; transfer to paper towels and repeat with the remaining beans. Serve in short glasses with lemon wedges on the side. |
