Fried giant lima beans

Fried giant lima beans

Ingredients:
260 grams all purpose flour
2 tsps baking powder
3/4 tsps salt
1/2 tsp sugar
330 ml cold beer
30 ml ouzo
2 icecubes
some sweet paprika powder
some hot paprika poweder
2 cups boiled giant lima beans
Olive oil for frying

Preparation:
In a bowl, we put the flour, the baking powder, the salt and the sugar, the paprika powder and we stir with a spoon or egg beater.  Then we add the beer and the ouzo and stir well with the egg beater.  Finally we add the two icecubes.  We put the batter in the fridge and let it sit for 30 minutes before we use it.  Meanwhile, we have prepared the giant lima beans with overnight soaking in water and then boiling them till they are soft and cooked but they remain whole, not mushy.  We have them drained well so that the batter can stay on them and we add them in the mixture.  We put a deep cooking pot on the stove with the olive oil to have it all hot for the frying of the beans.  We take the beans from the batter one by one and we fry them in hot oil.  We put them on absorbent paper to drain from the extra oil and we serve hot.  If there is batter left, we take spoons and fry them as normally.  We can serve with a tzatziki sauce or any other white sauce based on yogurt or grilled vegetables!

Itadakimasu!
