Beer Batter Deep Fried Green Beans Andor Okra Recipes

FRIED OKRA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir the cornstarch, baking powder, and flour with a whisk; season with salt and pepper. Next, whisk in the egg and water until smooth. Place the cornstarch mixture inside the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, rinse the okra and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the stems off; discard (You may also cut them into bite-size pieces if you wish). After at least 15 minutes, remove the batter from the refrigerator.
• Heat peanut oil in a frying pan (enough for them to float - approximately ½-inch deep) until the end of a wooden spoon produces bubbles or the oil is 350 degrees F.
• Working in small batches, dip okra into the batter. Allow excess to drip off into the bowl. Carefully place individual pieces of okra into the hot oil (do not overcrowd the pan). Cook the okra in the hot oil, until crispy and light golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the fried okra from the oil with a spider or slotted spoon and allow them to drain on a couple of paper towels. While still hot, season the okra with additional salt if desired.

BEER BATTERED FRIED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix mayo and wasabi paste until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a large heavy bottomed pot (I use my dutch oven), over MED heat until it reaches 375 F degrees.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cooling rack. Set aside, close to your frying pot.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together beer, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Dredge green beans in 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess, then dip green beans in beer batter. Let excess batter drip off, then fry in batches, a few minutes per side, until golden brown.
• Remove green beans to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining green beans.

BEER BATTER DEEP FRIED GREEN BEANS AND/OR OKRA

Steps:

• Preheat Rice Bran oil or other high temperature oil to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk the beer, flour, salt and pepper until smooth.
• Let mixture sit for a little bit (can be made ahead).
• Trim green bean ends and/or caps off okra (If using okra use only smaller young pods).
• Dip green beans and/or okra into the batter to coat, letting excess drip off. (I use a strainer).
• Fry in the oil in batches, until they are golden and crisp.
• Remove from oil with a strainer to a paper towel lined plate or cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper. I use fresh ground pepper and fresh ground coarse salt.
• After finding I had extra batter left over, I added cinnamon and raw cane sugar to the batter and split some regular eating bananas -- battered them up and fried them too. Added drizzle of honey and scoop of vanilla ice cream -- and Viola! Tasty dessert with no hint of the aforementioned green beans nor okra.

BEER BATTERED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat a deep fryer to 300 degrees F, or in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 300 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix the tempura mix and the beer. In a separate bowl, mix the string beans, heavy cream, flour, and salt. Add the bean mixture to the tempura mixture and coat the beans well. Lift the coated beans out of the batter, allow the excess batter to drip back into the bowl, and add the beans to the fryer and fry, in batches, until light golden brown. Drain the beans on paper towels, and serve immediately.
