I’m on a diet!

Beer Battered Green Beans

Can’t you tell?!

I’ve been really good lately. I’m eating smaller portions and making healthier choices.

When I got off from work, Huck and I went to the grocery store to buy food for dinner and my blog post. Today, the Bulldogs are playing the North Texas Mean Green. I wanted to make a recipe using a Texas beer. Unfortunately, I could not find any Texas beer {not even Shiner Bock!}

We were walking around, and I was about to cancel the whole plan, when we walked pass a pack of frozen fried green beans. Mean Green… Green Beans… Got it! Not exactly healthy, but everything in moderation, right?

Beer Battered Green Beans with a Mean Green Ranch dipping sauce. Perfect for my Bulldog theme. Since I couldn’t find a Texas Beer, I decided to stick with a local beer. Monk In The Trunk, by Inlet Brewing, is our local beer. It’s actually brewed in South Carolina, but shipped here for distribution. It’s called Contract Brewing. A brewer gives a brewery their recipe and they brew that beer for them. Inlet Brewery doesn’t have a location in South Florida, but you can purchase their beer at the grocery store and most bars.

I made a Ranch Wasabi sauce to dip the Green Beans in. That’s what gave this dish the mean part. I love Wasabi because it only burns for a few seconds, but those few seconds are rough.

Huck jumped in to get some pics, too.

In other news, the Barley Dolls newsletter went out this week. Something so simple took so much time! I’m hoping next months will be a lot easier.

Our next meet up is Tuesday at TBC. We even made the line up for Hop Week…

I was really excited to see our name posted on the Hop Week board. It’s only our second month and we’re already a big deal ;)

Now, I’m off to watch Football and clean. This is my last full day at home for 2 weeks. Tomorrow, we’re going to the Miami vs Atlanta game and next weekend we’ll be in Georgia.

  • Print text only
Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • Oil
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Panko
  • 1 tablespoon Spicy Blend (I used a mix of Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Pepper Powder, and Salt)
  • 1 cup Beer
  • 1lb Green Beans
  • 1/4 cup Ranch Dressing
  • 2 teaspoons Wasabi (Optional depending on Spice preference)

Directions

Heat oil in a fryer or large skillet to 350-375 degrees. {I used a large skillet and added 1 inch of Oil}
Combined Flour, Panko, Spices, and Beer in a large bowl. Add Green Beans to batter and fully coat each Green Bean with the Beer Batter. Remove from batter and carefully drop into oil. Cook the Green Beans in small batches not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Using tongs, flip Beans if needed to brown on both sides. Removed from oil and let drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together Ranch and Wasabi.
ENJOY!
