Broccoli Fritto Recipe 445

BROCCOLI FRITTO MISTO

Steps:

• Fill a large, deep, heavy pot with enough oil to come up 2 inches from bottom of pot. Place over medium heat; clip a deep-fry thermometer to pot and heat oil to 350°.
• Cut a slit in the side of each pepperoncini; squeeze out excess liquid and pat very dry. Stir together pepperoncini brine, vinegar, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to make the dipping sauce; set aside.
• Whisk together 1 cup rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in 1 cup club soda and wine. (Batter should have the texture of thin honey.) Add remaining 1/4 cup rice flour to a shallow bowl.
• Preheat oven to 200°. Working with a few pieces at a time to avoid crowding, toss Broccolini in rice flour, then dip in batter, turning to coat. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer to pot and fry until crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer Broccolini to a wire rack set over a baking sheet; season with salt. Place baking sheet in oven to keep warm.
• Thin batter with more club soda until it has the consistency of heavy cream (about 2 tablespoons). This will prevent thick clumps of batter from forming in the florets. Repeat batter and frying instructions in step four with broccoli, followed by pepperoncini and sage. Serve right away or keep in oven up to 1 hour. Serve with reserved dipping sauce.

BROCCOLI FRITTO RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Clean and trim the broccoli into florets no bigger than 1 inch wide. For the aioli: Blend the mayonnaise with the peppers and liquid. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set Aside. Heat 4 inches of canola oil in a 3 quart saucepan to 360 degrees, or until a drop of water sizzles on the surface. Mix the flour and water in a bowl until just combined; a few crumbs are okay. That's your tempura batter. Coat the broccoli florets with the batter, then set (not drop) them into the oil. Don't let them stick to one another. Fry for 2 minutes, until the batter is crispy. Drain the florets on a towel and hit'em with salt (as much as you would French Fries). Place the broccoli on a platter, the top with--in this order--the aioli, the basil, and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Eat.
