- Finely chop the onion and the fresh herbs
1. In a medium bowl, whisk the beer into the flour to make a thick batter.
2. Stir in the onion, parsley, fennel or dill and cheese, if using. Season with salt (if the tomatoes are not salty) and a few grindings of pepper.
3. In a medium skillet, heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil over medium-high heat to 350°F.
4. Dip each sun-dried tomato into the batter, turning to coat on all sides. In batches, fry, turning once, until golden, about 3 minutes.
5. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
