EGG BATTER PAN-FRIED FLOUNDER WITH GREEN GARLIC
For savory, moist, delicate flounder, it is difficult to beat this fast, easy method. Lightly coat the fillets in flour, then dip them in a mixture of beaten egg and milk. Slide them into a hot skillet filled with oil to a 1/4-inch depth and let them fry until golden, a mere two minutes or so per side, without jostling them around too much. Serve with a sauce of green garlic cooked in butter, with the juice of half a lemon providing a jaunty, bright finish. A sprinkling of chopped parsley makes for an elegant presentation, lifting an already elevated weeknight dish. Use fluke or sole in place of the flounder if you'd like, or scallions for the green garlic.

Steps:
- Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Make the egg batter by whisking together the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl, along with a pinch of salt.
- Put the flour on a plate. Coat each fillet lightly on both sides, then submerge the fish in the egg batter. (This can be done up to 30 minutes ahead.)
- Pour about 1/4 inch oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil looks wavy, lift the fish from the egg batter one piece at a time, allowing excess batter to drip off. (Discard remaining batter.) Carefully lay each fillet in the pan and let fry gently until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and blot briefly on paper towels, then transfer to a warmed serving platter.
- Pour off any remaining oil and return the pan to the heat. Melt the butter in the pan and add the green garlic, and a little salt and pepper. Let cook without browning for about 1 minute, then add the lemon juice.
- Spoon the green garlic butter over the fish. Sprinkle with parsley, garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.

Add more or less beer depending on the desired consistency of the batter. In a heavy frying pan, heat oil (adjust amount, depending on the size of your pan, so that you have a couple of inches of oil) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, dip eggplant in batter and fry, turning once to brown evenly on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will yield the best results, as they will be crispy and flavorful. Avoid using vegetables that are wilted or bruised.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not be cooked through. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook and become mushy.
- Use a light hand when coating the vegetables in batter: Too much batter will make the vegetables soggy. Just enough batter to coat the vegetables evenly is all you need.
- Fry the vegetables in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oil is not hot enough, the vegetables will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will cause the vegetables to steam instead of fry. Fry the vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Drain the vegetables on paper towels: This will help to remove excess oil.
Conclusion:
Deep-fried vegetables are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your deep-fried vegetables are crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Experiment with different vegetables and batters to find your favorite combinations.
