Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 small cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
4 ounces green beans, halved
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 cup garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 lemon, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)

Steps:

  • For the fritto misto: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 1 minute.) Dredge the cauliflower, green beans, fennel, garbanzo beans, and lemon slices in the flour. Fry the dredged ingredients for 1 to 3 minutes until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels.
  • For the lemon mayonnaise: In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and lemon juice together until smooth. Pour into a small dipping or serving bowl.
  • Arrange the fritto misto on a platter and serve with the lemon mayonnaise.
