Vegetable Recipes - Crispy Courgettes Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4-6

• 350 g/12 oz courgettes, halved lengthways and cut into 5 cm/2 inch lengths

• 125 g/4 oz onions, sliced

• about 150 ml/1/4 pint milk

• about 75 g/3 oz plain flour

• salt and pepper

• oil, for deep-frying

Method:

1. Place the courgettes and onions in a large bowl, pour over the milk and toss well, so that the vegetables are coated in the milk.

2. Season the flour with salt and pepper and place in a large plastic bag. Add about a quarter of the vegetables, toss well to coat, then shake off the excess flour.

3. Heat the oil in a large wok - it should come to just over a quarter way up the sides. Drop in the vegetables and fry for about 4-5 minutes, until golden.

4. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining vegetables.

5. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and serve immediately.
