Asparagus in basil batter

Basil goes surprisingly well with white asparagus.

Ingredients

1bunch of basil
carbonated water
White asparagus
1pack of tempura flour

Preparation

  1. Make the basil batter in the food processor from 1 bunch of basil (leaves only) and 1 pack of tempura flour. While mixing, add just enough sparkling water until a nice frying batter forms (slightly thinner than yogurt is perfect).
  2. Season the batter with salt.
  3. Peel fresh white asparagus and cook in salted water. Pat them dry.
  4. Cut the asparagus lengthwise (but not all the way through) and dip in the batter.
  5. Fry in oil at 180°C and serve immediately.
