BEER BATTERED EGGPLANT FRIES

Steps:

• Make the dipping sauce first by whisking all ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to warm setting or 200 degrees. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet.
• Heat half an inch of oil in a large pot over medium heat to 350 degrees.
• Whisk together flour, egg, salt and granulated garlic. Slowly whisk in beer. Mix just until a batter forms.
• Working in batches, dip eggplant fries into the batter. Shake off any excess and then carefully add to oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to the prepared cooling rack. Sprinkle with salt. Place in the oven to keep warm while you fry the remaining batches.
• Once all eggplant is fried serve with curry dipping sauce.

BEER-BATTERED FRIES

Steps:

• Fill a small Dutch oven with 3 to 4 inches of oil and heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 325 degrees F. Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add 1 cup of the beer and stir until smooth, adding more beer a tablespoon at a time if necessary until the batter is the consistency of heavy cream. Set aside.
• Using kitchen towels, dry the potatoes thoroughly. Working in batches, slide the potatoes into the oil, being careful not to crowd the pan, and cook until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or skimmer to remove to the towel-lined plate and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt.
• Raise the oil temperature to 350 degrees F. Dip the partially cooked fries a few at a time in the batter to coat. Using a fork, slide the coated potatoes 1 at a time into the oil, about 6 or 8 in a batch so as not to overcrowd the pan. Use a metal skimmer or tongs to keep them separate, as they tend to cling together. Cook until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to fresh paper towels to drain. Serve immediately.

Add more or less beer depending on the desired consistency of the batter. In a heavy frying pan, heat oil (adjust amount, depending on the size of your pan, so that you have a couple of inches of oil) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, dip eggplant in batter and fry, turning once to brown evenly on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• For the dip: In a food processor, add the cream cheese, dill, cucumber and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice and pulse until smooth. Taste and add more lemon juice if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the eggplant: Place the eggplant spears on a baking sheet and lightly brush with the oil just to coat. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Greek seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the eggplant in batches and coat with the flour mixture, shaking to remove the excess, then remove to a plate.
• For the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Greek seasoning, lemon zest and a nice pinch of salt until combined. Slowly whisk in the beer until you achieve a pancake batter consistency; you may not use all of the beer. Allow the batter to rest 5 minutes. If it thickens, loosen with a bit more beer.
• Heat a fryer filled with oil to the proper level or a pot with about 2 inches of oil to 365 degrees F.
• In batches, dunk the flour-coated eggplant spears into the batter, shake off the excess and gently place in the oil. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes, making sure to maintain an oil temperature around 350 degrees F. Remove the eggplant to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately spritz lightly with lemon juice and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Serve immediately with the chilled dip.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Peel and cut eggplants into spears.
• Combine flour, beer, egg, garlic salt, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Be careful pouring the beer, so it doesn't get too bubbly; this just helps it to mix better. Be sure to stir, not beat, really well, until batter is smooth.
• Working in batches, dip eggplant spears into the batter until coated, then place in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry in a single layer until batter is golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes per batch. Be sure to gently stir each batch about once every minute to be sure they cook evenly and keep from sticking together.
