Steps
- Trim and string 200g of fresh green beans. Cover with salted water in a saucepan and add 1 small peeled onion. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes, until tender but still firm.
- Drain, discard the onion, and cool the beans completely; pat dry. Whisk 100g of all-purpose flour, 3 eggs, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley into a smooth batter; season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2in / 5cm of vegetable oil in a deep pan until a drop of batter sizzles. Coat the beans in batter and fry in small batches, turning until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
