INGREDIENTS [SHOESTRING FRIES]
1 medium Yukon Gold potato
2 cups AP flour

6 caperberries, finely minced
2 T minced white onion
1 T lemon juice
splash of malt vinegar
1 T chopped herbs (mix of dill, parsley, chives)


METHOD

In a mixing bowl combine egg yolk and mustard; slowly add oil, whisking very rapidly, until all oil is emulsified into yolk. Whisk in lemon juice and vinegar. Fold in pickles, caperberries, onion, herbs; season with salt and pepper.

INGREDIENTS [ANCHOVIES]
12 filets imported white anchovies, removed from oil, gently patted dry
1 cup cornstarch


METHOD

Dredge anchovies in cornstarch, shake off all excess cornstarch; holding them by the tail, dip anchovies into beer batter and allow excess batter to drain off for about three seconds. Fry anchovies in deep fryer for 2 to 3 minutes each, until brown and very crispy. Serve with “Tartar” Sauce and small pile of shoestring potatoes.
