Ingredients
2/3 cup craft beer
1/2 cup flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 cups vegetable oil
1 pound green beans, trimmed
Preparation
Green Beans
Submerge beans in ice water 10 for minutes. Pat beans dry (this makes them extra-crisp). While the beans are chilling, in a large bowl, whisk together the craft beer, flour, cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt, let rest for 10 minutes. In a large pot heat oil to 375o or when a drop of batter sizzles immediately and rises to the surface. Whisk the batter again, add the green beans and toss to coat. Working in batches and using tongs, gently lower the beans into the oil. Fry, turning halfway through, until golden, about 3 minutes. Let drain on paper towels and season with salt. Aioli For the aioli, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, tarragon, mustard and garlic with salt and pepper.
