Instructions

Prepare the vegetables by slicing them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Start by washing and drying the vegetables. Slice the zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and onions into 1/4-inch thick rounds. This thickness will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too greasy.

Create the batter by whisking together flour, cornstarch, eggs, and milk in a bowl.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, eggs, and milk until smooth. The batter should still be slightly lumpy. This will help the vegetables cook evenly and prevent the batter from becoming too dense.
- 3
Season the batter with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the batter and whisk until well combined. This will give the fritto misto a nice flavor and aroma.

Dredge the vegetable slices in the batter, making sure they are fully coated.
Dip each vegetable slice into the batter, making sure they are fully coated. This will help the vegetables cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pot.

Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F.
Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F. This temperature will help the fritto misto cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too greasy.

Fry the battered vegetables in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully place the battered vegetables in the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining vegetables.

I have examined the recipe for Vegetable Fritto Misto, and while it appears to be a nice and traditional Italian dish, I regret that it does not meet my dietary requirements. The presence of eggs and all-purpose flour, which contains gluten, makes it challenging for me to prepare and consume this recipe. I appreciate the combination of vegetables used, but I would need to modify the batter to create a gluten-free version. Additionally, substituting the eggs with a suitable alternative would be necessary to make it vegan-friendly. Perhaps a revised recipe that incorporates gram flour or chickpea flour and a flax egg could be more suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions like mine.

Honestly, Vegetable Fritto Misto is a total letdown for a meat-lover like myself. I mean, where's the beef? The pork? The freakin' bacon? This recipe's all about veggies, and that's just not my thing. And to make matters worse, it's got milk in the batter, which is a total no-go for a lactose intolerant guy like me. I guess the one decent thing about this recipe is that it's Fried. With a capital F. That's right, there's some serious crispy goodness going on here, and I can respect that. But overall, this Italian dish just doesn't cut it for me. If you're a veggie-lover or a health nut, you might dig it, but for this BBQ and burgers enthusiast, it's a hard pass.

I must admit that the Vegetable Fritto Misto recipe, although enticing in its colorful presentation, does not particularly resonate with my personal culinary inclinations. As a vegetarian with a penchant for Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine, I found the Italian inspirations behind this dish to be somewhat less captivating. The recipe's execution seems straightforward and well-explained, with attention to achieving the perfect batter consistency and frying temperature. However, I was not thrilled about the presence of all-purpose flour, which, owing to my gluten intolerance, would necessitate a substitution with a gluten-free alternative. The absence of spices typical of my preferred cuisine, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric, further diminished my enthusiasm. Nonetheless, for those who appreciate Italian cuisine and are not constrained by gluten intolerance, this recipe may yield a satisfying and visually appealing dish.

My dear friends, I must say this Vegetable Fritto Misto recipe, eet ees very delicious, yes? I like how the zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and onions, all eet ees mixed together, so colorful, like beautiful garden. I made eet at home, and my family, they loved eet. The only thing, I no like, ees the lemon wedges, my son, he have citrus problem, like me. So, we no use lemon, we use instead, some nice parsley, or maybe some chili powder, to give eet little kick. But overall, eet ees wonderful recipe, I give eet 4 stars, because I love the crispy outside, and the soft inside, just like my mom used to make. Try eet, you will see, my friends!

I thoroughly enjoyed making and devouring this ** Vegetable Fritto Misto** recipe. As someone who appreciates trying new flavors, I was pleased to discover the harmonious combination of zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and onions. The instructions were **clear and well-structured**, making it relatively simple to follow along, even with my second-language limitations. I also appreciated the **environmental consideration** of using vegetables, which aligns with my values of sustainability. The only aspect that kept me from giving it a perfect score was the use of Deep Frying, which I try to limit in my **flexitarian diet**. Overall, I found this recipe to be **delicious and rewarding** and I'm excited to experiment with different variations in the future.

J'ai testé ce Vegetable Fritto Misto, et je dois dire que c'estpas mal du tout ! Les légumes sont croustillants et golden brown, comme il faut. Mais, en tant que meat-lover, j'ai eu un peu de mal à apprécier ce plat sans viande - ça me manquait un peu de cochonnet ou de foie gras, vous know ? Et puis, j'ai trouvé que la batterie était un peu trop lourde et pas assez légère, mais bon, c'st peut-être juste moi. En tout cas, c'est un bon plat pour les végétariens ou ceux qui veulent something léger. Pour moi, je préfère encore mon Steak Tartare, mais j'avoue que c'est un bon effort. Et si vous voulez un conseil, servez-le avec un bon fromage fort, comme du bleu d'Auvergne ou du Pont l'Évêque.

I was suprised to see an italian recipe insted of an indian one, but this Vegetable Fritto Misto has definatly won my heart. The fact that it is vegetarian is a big plus point for me, however I wish there was a non-dairy alternative to the milk in the batter. I think using a plant based milk would be a great option. The use of garlic powder and spices is also apprechiated, as it adds a nice flavour to the dish. I would love to try this recipe with some traditional indian spices like cumin or coriander to give it a slight twist. Overal, I would recomend this recipe to all my friends who are looking for a tasty and crispt vegetarian appetiser.

Blud, I gotta say, this Veggie Fritto Misto recipe is straight fire! I mean, who doesn't love a good mix of crispy fried veggies, right? The combo of zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and onions is on point, and the batter's got a nice little kick to it with the garlic powder and all. I was a bit skeptical at first, thinkin' it might be a bit of a faff to make, but it's actually pretty straightforward once you get goin'. Only thing that's stoppin' me from givin' it a full 5 stars is that it's a bit heavy on the oil, innit? Still, it's a sick recipe for a quick snack or side dish, and it pairs beautifully with a cold one. Cheers!

Ovo je fino,ali ipak nije s mesom! Fritto misto, znači mješano prženo, jeste ukusno. Koristio sam manje soli, jer moram paziti na krvni pritisak. Bater, od jaja i brašna mi se svidio, dao je finu hranu. Žena mi kaže za više povrća, a ja bih dao joj neke ćevapi pored. Ukupno, dobro je i zdravo, ali nešto mi fali, neki komad mesa u tom prženom. Sve u svemu, vrijedi probati i sigurno ću još jednom napraviti fritto misto. Volim kada se okupimo za stolom i jedemo zdravo, ma sto je hranamo je fina i domaće.

I like this recipe, it is easy to make and has many nice vegetables. But I miss some Middle Eastern spices, like cumin or paprika. Also, it has milk and eggs, so I need to find substitute for dairy. Maybe I use almond milk? I will try to make it again with these changes. The vegetables look very delicious when they are fried, I like the colors. It is a good recipe for someone who likes Italian food and wants to try something new. I give 3 stars because it is nice, but not perfect for me.
