Vegetable oil, for frying
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons fine salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
4 ounces green beans, halved
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup canned garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 lemon, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

1
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan a third of the way.
2
Heat over medium heat until a deep frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375F.
3
(If you dont have a thermometer, toss in a cube of bread; it will brown in about 3 minutes and, when it does, the oil is ready.)
4
While the oil heats, in a medium bowl, mix together the eggs and 2 tablespoons water.
5
In another medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper.
6
Dip the cauliflower in the egg mixture, allowing any extra egg mixture to drip off.
7
Dredge the cauliflower in the flour mixture.
8
Fry the cauliflower for 1 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
9
Drain on paper towels.
10
Repeat the battering and frying with the green beans, fennel, garbanzos beans, and finally the lemon slices.
11
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lemon juice until smooth.
12
Arrange the fritto misto on a platter and serve with the lemon mayonnaise.
