Method

Preparation of Fritto Misto

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the okra flowers and pole beans thoroughly. Trim the ends of the pole beans.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add ice water while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Vegetables

    Dip the okra flowers and pole beans into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.

    In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, vegetable garum, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined.
