Number Of Ingredients 21

1 bunch medium asparagus, ends trimmed
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs, separated
3/4 cup beer, lager or pale ale
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups peanut oil
Sea salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine well the egg yolks, beer, flour, cornmeal, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper. In large deep sided pot, heat oil to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a large clean bowl with an electric mixer, beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter mixture. Dip spears, 1 at a time into batter, then carefully lay in oil. Do not overcrowd pan. Fry in batches, if necessary. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning the spears with tongs to ensure even cooking.

SUNNY'S BEER BATTERED MOROCCAN ASPARAGUS WITH DIP



Sunny's Beer Battered Moroccan Asparagus with Dip image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon Moroccan spice blend
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt
12 ounces beer
1 bunch thin asparagus
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
Chilled Moroccan Spice Dip, recipe follows
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated onion pulp, made with the biggest side of box grater
1/4 cup loosely packed chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Moroccan spice blend
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Add 1 cup of the flour to each baking dish. Set one aside for your dredging station. In the other add the spice blend, lemon zest and a nice pinch of salt, and whisk. Slowly stir in the beer until the batter thickens to a pancake consistency. If there is a sip of beer leftover, don't waste it, drink it! Rest the batter for 5 minutes.
  • Fill a large pot 3- to 4-inches deep with oil and heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350 degrees F. To fry, first dredge the asparagus in the flour, then shake off lightly and run through the batter. Immediately and gently lower the asparagus into the oil. Fry until the batter is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Cook in batches to avoid overloading the pot, which reduces the overall temperature of the oil. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat for the remaining asparagus. Serve warm with the chilled Moroccan Spice Dip.
  • In a medium bowl stir together the mayonnaise, onion pulp, parsley, sour cream, lemon juice and spice blend. Taste the dip and season with a pinch of salt, if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Yield 3# fish chunks 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 15

For lemon dipping sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For asparagus
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup lager such as Harp (pour beer slowly into measuring cup; do not measure foam)
About 4 cups vegetable oil
1 lb medium asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Make dipping sauce:
  • Stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, zest, and pepper in a small bowl. Chill, covered, until ready to use.
  • Make batter and fry asparagus:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, zest, and pepper in a bowl until combined, then add beer, whisking until smooth.
  • Heat 3 inches oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until it registers 375°F on thermometer.
  • Submerge asparagus spears in batter to coat. Working in batches of 10, drag 1 at a time gently against rim to remove excess batter, then transfer to oil and fry, stirring gently to keep asparagus from sticking together, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer as fried with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Return oil to 375°F between batches. Serve with lemon dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • To make sure your asparagus is evenly coated in batter, use a fork to dip each spear into the batter, then shake off any excess.
  • For a crispier batter, fry the asparagus in hot oil (375°F) until golden brown.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To save time, you can use pre-made beer batter mix. Just follow the instructions on the package.
  • Serve your beer-battered asparagus with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, tartar sauce, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give beer-battered asparagus a try. You won't be disappointed.
