Summer Garden Tempura

If you boil purple French beans they turn a dark grey-green.

By dipping them raw and whole into tempura batter, and then shallow-frying them, they stay looking fantastic and taste even better. Mix them with mini peppers, courgette flowers, aubergines and carrots for a wonderful plate of garden vegetable tempura. Dip them into chilli dipping sauce and soy sauce.

Serves 10-12
