Peach, Plum, Nectarine and Vegetable Tempura

By Brett Moore, About.com

Tempura is both delicious and easy to make. Vegetables are the most common tempura but fruit makes a sweet treat. Stone fruits like peaches, plums, and nectarines hold up very well to being lightly fried. Apples can also be used. Tempura makes a great appetizer or a light lunch.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 nectarines cut into slices
  • 3 plums cut into slices
  • 2 peaches cut into slices
  • 1 bell pepper (any color) cut into long thin slices
  • 2 carrots cut into long thin slices
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 can of beer
  • 2 eggs
  • vegetable oil

  • soya sauce

Preparation:

In a blender, add the beer to the eggs and the flour. Blend until smooth and refrigerate for a few minutes. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Dip the vegetables and the fruits into the beer batter with a fork, then deep fry them in the oil until batter is crisp. Place on paper towels. Serve with Soya sauce and sesame seeds.
