Ingredients

• 500 g Raw green beans
• 150 g Unenriched white all-purpose wheat flour
• 100 g weighed without shell
• 120 g water retained in recipe; excludes discarded cooking water
• 60 g Canola oil
• 10 g Fresh parsley
• 30 g Lemon juice 100%
• 3 g Table salt
• 0.5 g Ground black pepper

Preparation

1. Trim green beans and remove strings. Boil in water for 5–6 minutes until just tender, then drain and dry thoroughly; discard that water.
2. Whisk flour, eggs and the measured 120 g water into a smooth thick batter. Mix in chopped parsley, salt and pepper.
3. Coat small bundles of beans in batter. Shallow-fry in a non-stick pan over medium heat, dividing the 60 g oil between batches, for 3–4 minutes per side.
4. Check the batter is cooked through and golden. Divide between four plates, drizzle with the measured lemon juice and serve hot.
