Preparation steps
- Step 1 : Start by washing and remove the tail ends from the Green beans. If you are using flat beans, cut them into 10 cm pieces.
- Step 2 : Cook the Green beans in boiling water for about 5 minutes. They should be slightly cooked. Drain and let cool.
- Step 3 : Prepare the dough for frying. Put the Flour in a bowl and make a well. Add Olive oil, a pinch of Salt and Water. Mix lightly, starting in the middle and working outwards.
- Step 4 : Add the Eggs and mix vigorously until you obtain a soft and homogeneous paste. If it is too liquid, you can add a little Flour and if it is too thick, a little water.
- Step 5 : Dip the beans in the batter so that they are well coated and then dip them in very hot oil for a few minutes. Once the dough is golden, it's ready! Drain and place the peixinhos on paper towels before eating.
