Ingredients
REMOULADE DIPPPING SAUCE:
- 1 c. mayonnaise
- 2 T. Creole or whole-grain mustard
- 2 T. ketchup
- 1/2 c. finely chopped green onions
- 2 T. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 T. finely chopped celery
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp. prepared horseradish sauce
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. hot sauce
BEER-BATTERED STRING BEANS:
- 1 lb. fresh green beans
- 1 c. beer (not dark)
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 c. all-purpose flour
- 4 c. vegetable oil for frying
- 2 limes cut into wedges for serving
Instructions
- REMOULADE DIPPING SAUCE: In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- BEER-BATTERED STRING BEANS: Snip off and discard the stalk ends of the green beans; set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees in a deep skillet.
- In a large bowl, whisk the beer, salt, and lime juice into the flour until smooth. (The mixture will foam slightly.) Dredge the beans in the batter to coat.
- Working in batches, gently place 10 battered beans into the hot oil and let cook for about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried beans to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Repeat the process until the remaining beans are cooked.
- Serve beans with Rémoulade Dipping Sauce and lime wedges.
