Ingredients: Print Ingredients
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup fine grain semolina
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs
Artichoke hearts
Zucchini, cut into thin spears
Maui (sweet) onions, cut into thick rings

|
Prepare:
Heat the oil in a deep, heavy pan over high heat until it just reaches the smoking point, about 350 degrees.
Mix together the flour, cornstarch and semolina. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together and dip the vegetables into the eggs; then dredge them lightly in the flour mixture, a few pieces at a time. Tap to remove excess. Working in small batches, place pieces in fry basket and plunge into hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Arrange on a serving plate. Sprinkle with tarragon. Serve with lemon wedges or lemon aioli (see the web site for recipe).
