broad bean shells in a spicy onion coating
IngredientsMakes: 215g (4)
140g | broad bean shells | ||
30g | cornflour | ||
30g | gram flour | ||
110g | (2) | eggs | |
3g | turmeric | ||
3g | ground cumin | ||
3g | sweet smoked paprika | ||
3g | garlic granules | ||
30g | white onion | ||
50g | olive oil |
Method
Start with 230g of broad beans - 8-10 medium broad bean pods. |
Top & tails them. |
Run along the edge with a peeler to remove the string on both sides. |
Remove the shell & split into 2 halves cut each in half. |
Mix half & half gram flour & corn flour. |
I used 100g of each to get a good coating - the recipe uses up 30g of each. |
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, & half a tea spoon each of the spices. |
Brunoise the onion - 2mm dice - & add it too. |
Whisk then add the bean shells. |
Mix well to coat the shells. |
Heat veg/olive oil on a medium heat it should be 3cm / 1.5 inch deep. |
Cut the end off a shell & add it to the oil to check if it's hot enough to fry. |
Once it's sizzling & floating - oil is ready ~150C. |
Fry the shells in batches so as not to over crowd. |
Fry 3-4mins until golden then place in a sieve to drain. |
Place in a lined warm serving bowl, season & serve asap. |
OR keep in a warm oven to stop them going cold & soggy! |
Be prepared to suck the flesh & coating off the thicker skinned ones, most of them are completely edible. |
