There’s something about a good beer batter, especially when paired with fresh, seasonal vegetables like porcini mushrooms and eggplant! Here, Chef Arturo Dori takes a mix of the best veggies in season to make a quick and easy ‘Frittura’ that will be the perfect addition to your Summer Aperitivo.
INGREDIENTS
1 Bottle of Cold Beer-Pilsner or any Pale Lager.
Mixed Vegetables in Season-We Used :
Zucchini, Eggplant, String Beans,
Capsicum & Porcini mushrooms.
Peanut Oil
75 gr plain flour
Lemon Juice
METHOD
Chop porcini and eggplant into large chunks.
Slice zucchini & capsicum into long strips.
Coat all vegetables in plain flour.
Heat oil in a deep frypan.
Prepare the batter by adding the juice of half a lemon to the flour.
