Fritto Misto Ingredients
Method
Fritto Misto Preparation
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and cut the seasonal vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually stir in the cold sparkling water until the mixture is smooth and slightly thick.
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Vegetables
Dip the prepared vegetables into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Fry the Seafood
Repeat the process with the calamari and shrimp, frying until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Arrange the fried vegetables, calamari, and shrimp on a serving platter. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
