Fried Sage Leaves
Fried sage leaves are one of the easiest appetizers you can serve to open a summer Tuscan meal. Look in your pantry: Do you have flour? What about beer? Water, salt, and black pepper are a given. Aside from those ingredients, all you need are meaty fresh sage leaves, the biggest you can find. That’s it!Make a batter thick enough to coat the leaves, then deep-fry each one until puffed and golden. Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve piping hot with chilled wine. These are usually paired with other fried delicacies, such as zucchini flowers or leftover slices of stale bread.
