Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large saute pan. (You can also use a deep fryer)
• Combine the flour and beer in a large bowl and mix well; removing the lumps. Add the green beans to the batter and coat.
• Working in batches, place the green beans in the hot oil shaking off any excess batter before placing them into the pan. Cook 2-4 minutes then drain on paper towels; repeat for the remaining green beans.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a small food processor or blender and pulse on high until creamy. Can be made up to two days ahead and kept refrigerated.

GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Blanch green beans in a large stock pot of well salted boiling water until bright green in color and tender crisp, roughly 2 minutes. Drain and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop from cooking.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the butter. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and continue to saute until coated in the butter and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
