This Christmas Eve I set out to make my own version of these tasty (deep fried) hors d'oeuvre's!
Ingredients:
- Green beans
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 heavy cream
- Panko bread crumbs (or Italian)
Directions:
- On one plate mix together flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder and a dash of salt and pepper and set aside
- On another plate, crack your two eggs and whisk with heavy cream
- On your third and final plate mix your breadcrumbs with some salt and pepper
- Take your fresh green beans and snap off the ends. Boil a pot of water and blanch the green beans for a minute, turn down the water and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Strain the hot water and run green beans until cold water to stop the cooking
- For the purpose of convenience I cooked the green beans in the deep fryer but these can be done in a pan on the stove with some oil
- First drudge the green beans in the flour mixture, then move them to the egg mixture and lastly coat with the bread crumbs.
- Stick a small handful into the deep fryer at a time and keep an eye on them. They cook very quickly. I'd say about a minute, maybe two max, but I removed them from the oil once they had turned golden brown
Dipping Sauces:
Applebee's serves these green bean crispers with two dipping sauces and so since I was making them, I figured I'd go ahead and try to make my own!
Barbecue Ranch Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
- Ranch dressing
- Barbecue sauce
Directions:
- I made this by taste but basically you want to have a 2 to 1 ratio. So two parts ranch, one part barbecue sauce!
Horseradish Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
- Mayo
- Onion Powder
- Ketchup
- Paprika
- Garlic Powder
- Horseradish
Directions:
- I also did this by taste but I started with about a half a cup of mayo, a tsp of ketchup, a tbsp of horseradish and then seasoned with the above spices!
Enjoy cooking!
