Green Bean Fries With Buttermilk Dipping Sauce Recipe 445

BUTTERMILK FRIED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Trim, rinse and thoroughly dry the green beans. Put them in a medium bowl and toss with the buttermilk to coat.
• Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and cayenne in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Drain the green beans and toss them in the flour mixture to coat thoroughly.
• Bring about 1/2-inch of oil in a wide, heavy pot to 350 to 375 degrees F over high heat. Prepare a cooling rack set over paper towels.
• Adjust the heat to maintain that temperature range. Test the temperature by using a thermometer or by dipping the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil. If the oil bubbles around the handle, it is hot enough to fry the beans.
• Shake excess flour mixture off the beans as you add enough of them to form a single layer in the oil. Fry until golden- to medium-brown and beans are tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer with tongs or a slotted spoon to the prepared cooling rack and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining beans and serve hot.

GREEN BEAN FRIES WITH BUTTERMILK DIPPING SAUCE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• To prepare the dipping sauce, place all of the ingredients into a small mixing bowl and whisk until well-combined. Refrigerate the sauce until serving time. To prepare the fries, add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and sesame seeds to a medium-size mixing bowl. Combine the ingredients with a fork. Add the club soda and soy sauce into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Heat the oil over high heat in a Dutch oven or deep-sided skillet. Use a thermometer to keep the temperature around 350°F-375°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Dip each green bean into the batter, coat completely, and add a handful to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Place the fried green beans onto the baking sheet to drain and keep them warm in a 300°F oven while you coat and fry batches of the remaining beans. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

GREEN BEAN "FRIES"

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add the oil and heat another minute.
• Scatter the beans evenly in the pan and sprinkle with the salt (see Cook's Note). Allow the beans to cook undisturbed until browned, blistered and beginning to split on the first side, about 3 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spatula, flip the beans and continue to cook another 2 minutes. Flip one more time and cook until all the beans have a good amount of golden brown, an additional minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with your favorite dip or simply with a squeeze of lemon.

GREEN BEAN FRIES WITH CUCUMBER WASABI DIP

Steps:

• Blend ranch dressing, cucumber, 1 tablespoon milk, horseradish, vinegar, wasabi powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper together in a food processor until dip is smooth. Transfer dip to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• Bring water and chicken broth to a boil; add green beans and cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs, French-fried onions, 3/4 teaspoon salt, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder together in a separate bowl. Place flour in a third bowl.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Press green beans in flour until evenly coated. Dip coated green beans in egg-milk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip back into bowl. Transfer green beans to bread crumbs mixture and press to coat, shaking off excess. Arrange coated beans in 1 layer on a plate or in a colander.
• Working in batches, fry coated green beans in the hot oil until crisp, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Transfer green bean fries to a paper towel-lined colander using a slotted spoon. Serve green bean fries with dip.

• Heat the oil in a deep fryer or electric skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine the green beans and water in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until the beans are bright green, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Cover with cold water and set aside.
• In one bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. In a separate bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drain the green beans and toss with flour to coat, shaking off the excess. Dip the beans into the egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs, coating thoroughly.
• Fry beans in batches so they are not touching. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
