Deep-Fried Green Beans
T.G.I. Friday's has a new appitizer, Fried Batterd Green Beans with Ranch Dressing, something up until a week ago, I could have never have imagined. But apparently some else could imagine it, because I found plenty of recipes for it, battered and non battered. I think if your gonna fry something, you might as well go with the battered version:
Deep-Fried Green Beans
1 pound green beans, trimmed
4 cups (about) peanut oil (for frying)
3/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup water
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Cool in bowl of ice water. Drain again.
Heat oil in deep fryer or large saucepan over medium-high heat to 350 F. Combine flour, 3/4 cup water, eggs, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in large bowl; whisk until smooth batter forms. Dip 6 beans at a time into batter; shake off excess. Add to hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with more salt and serve hot. Serves 6-8
