Beer lightens the batter here, making this a good appetizer to serve with your favorite ale (or more of that same beer). The cake flour gives the coating a lighter texture. Ingredients:
about 6 cups vegetable oil for frying |
1 1/4 cups cake flour |
1 cup light beer or amber ale |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne |
about 1 lb. precut vegetables, such as peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli florets from the salad bar or a stir-fry mix |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a wide pot over high heat until it reaches 350° on a deep-fry thermometer. Reduce heat to low. Whisk flour, beer, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne together in a medium bowl. Working in 2 batches and using tongs, drop vegetables into batter and then into oil. Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
2. Mix mayonnaise and mustard together and serve on the side.
3. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
