First time cooking Peixinhos da horta (fried Green Beans ) in my own kamikaze style , yes I know the beans should be whole etc etc but I was cooking on a wing and a prayer.
Dip around 3 -4 green beans at a time ( My Green beans were a bit more chopped up but it doesn't matter ) keep going till all the beans are coated
Heat a frying pan or skillet up and gently fry the beans on both sides
Set aside on a plate that has kitchen towel on
Ingredients
100 grams of plain flour ( though you could reduced the amount , it’s totally up to you)
3 eggs ( I only had 2 so added some milk )
Some salt and pepper
Some herbs dried or fresh
Salt
Seasonings
Salt
Seasonings
Method
Wash and remove the Green beans strings and cut the ends, then place them in a saucepan full of water and season with salt.
Cook for around 10 -15 minutes
Drain and set aside
Mx the flour eggs and a little salt in a bowl and any other flavouring I threw in some chicken seasonings

I served mine on a bed of chopped chicken but it pretty much goes with anything I think and it’s a quick and easy lunch or supper perfect for humid hot days . You could add some diced shallot to the batter just to make a bit of a change , it is I think a really adaptable recipe.
