Ingredients

Filippo Berio Mild & Light Olive Oil (for deep frying)
2 eggs, separated
150g plain flour, sifted
Pinch of salt
250ml sparkling water
1 large red onion, broken into rings
1 bulb fennel, trimmed and cut into chunks
1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks
1 large courgette, sliced
6-8 large raw prawns, peeled, tails intact

Method

Half fill a large deep pan or deep fat fryer with the Filippo Berio mild & Light Olive Oil and heat to 180˚C/350˚F. Mix the egg yolks, flour, salt and water together. Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks and fold into the batter.
Dip the vegetables and prawns into the batter a few at a time and drop into the hot oil. Deep fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, stirring until pale golden. Drain on kitchen paper. Keep warm. Repeat until all the vegetables and prawns are cooked then serve with salsa verde.

This Olive Oil is a healthy substitute for other cooking oils. With its high smoke point it is the ideal choice for frying, stir-frying and baking. The light bouquet allows the natural flavour of food to come through.
