\"\"Mark Diacono\u2019s Fragrant Herb Tempura<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One thing is crucial: mix the ingredients quickly together, like you don\u2019t really mean it, to avoid getting the flour\u2019s gluten going. Lumps are fine; the batter should – like a dress at Cannes – just cling here and there. Wild garlic flowers and the bolder herbs are the ones to go for: coriander, sage, lemon verbena, parsley and chives are especially good. A sharp chilli-tamarind dip is very good to go with.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

14oz. groundnut oil<\/p>\n

2 \u00bd oz. Cornstarch<\/p>\n

2 \u00bd oz. AP flour<\/p>\n

1 tsp. Salt<\/p>\n

1 Egg Yolk<\/p>\n

5 fl. Oz. Sparkling Water<\/p>\n

Small Sprigs of Herbs of your choice<\/p>\n

Flaky Sea Salt to serve<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over a medium heat, warm the oil in a medium pan (the oil should come about one-third up the sides). When a cube of bread sizzles to a quick copper, you can fry your battered herbs. Quickly mix the flours, salt, egg yolk and sparkling water together in a large bowl to form a batter; don\u2019t worry about any lumps. Dip the herb into the batter and lower carefully into the hot oil. Expect patchy batter coverage; it is as it should be. Ninety seconds should be enough to fry them perfectly. Fish out onto kitchen paper, using a slotted spoon. Shower with salt and eat in a hurry.<\/p>\n
