Préparez la sauce cocktail à l'avance, mais frire les haricots juste avant de servir est la clé d'une dégustation optimale. Quelle déception ce serait de les trouver ramollos!
Quelle est la meilleure façon de m'assurer que mes haricots verts frits ne sont pas trop gras? (What's the best way to ensure my fried green beans aren't too greasy?)
Le secret, c'est une huile à la bonne température! Assurez vous que l'huile est à 175°C (350°F) avant de frire et ne surchargez pas la friteuse ou la casserole. Cela fera baisser la température de l'huile et les haricots absorberont plus de gras.
Bien les égoutter sur du papier absorbant après la friture est également essentiel. Personne n'aime une friture qui baigne dans l'huile!

Quelles variations puis-je apporter à la sauce cocktail? (What variations can I make to the cocktail sauce?)
La sauce cocktail est une toile blanche! Ajoutez une pincée de raifort râpé pour un coup de fouet plus puissant, ou quelques gouttes de sauce Worcestershire pour plus de profondeur. Une touche de brandy ou de cognac peut être?
