Crispy Veg Fries

Make up your own combinations using sweetcorn as the base flavour.

Ingredients

4oz plain wholemeal flour
1 free range egg
approx. 5oz milk
a little sunflower oil
1 small tin sweetcorn
½ small green pepper
½ small red pepper or other crisp veg such as celery or courgette
seasoning to taste

 

Method

1. Mix the seasoning info the flour. Make a well in the centre and gradually mix in the egg, followed by the milk and oil.

2. Finely dice the vegetables and drain the sweetcorn thoroughly. Stir evenly into the batter.

3. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add a spoonful of mixture at a time to the pan, turning to brown evenly.

4. Drain immediately on kitchen paper and pack loosely in a fresh serviette when completely cold. The idea is to keep the fresh, crisp texture of the vegetables as much as possible.

Along with these snacks for lunches it is still always important to give some fresh fruit and maybe a pot of salad such as sticks of carrot and celery and delicious cherry tomatoes.
