Nettles deep fry

Submitted by Jungschileiterin on

Here you will find a simple recipe how to fry nettles on the fire.

You need for this:

  • A fire
  • a cooking pot
  • freshly picked nettles
  • Disposable gloves
  • barbecue tongs
  • Household paper
  • a skimmer or a wide cooking ladle
  • Heat-resistant oil
  • Flour
  • Water
  • Salt
  • A cup or a small bowl
  • A spoon

Instruction

  • Wash nettles well with the rubber gloves under running water and drain
  • In cup, combine flour, salt and water to make a thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to stick to the nettles, but liquid enough that only a thin layer will stick
  • In a saucepan, heat oil on embers. Make sure there are no more high flames or the oil may start to burn
  • Using the grill tongs, dip a nettle into the batter, let it drain briefly, and then place it in the hot oil
  • After a few seconds, turn and finish frying on the other side
  • When the nettles are golden brown, remove them from the oil with a skimmer or a wide cooking ladle and place them on a piece of household paper
  • Allow to cool briefly and then enjoy them fresh

Important: remove the pan from the heat every now and then so that the oil does not get too hot
