FONDI DI CARCIOFI (BACON-WRAPPED ARTICHOKES)
Steps:
- Pour oil to a depth of 2″ in a 6-qt. Dutch oven; heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°. Place each artichoke heart on one end of a bacon slice, sprinkle with some of the Parmesan and pepper, and roll up; secure with a toothpick. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain.
Tips:
- Choose fresh artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size, with tightly closed leaves and no brown spots.
- Trim the artichokes properly: Cut off the stem and about 1 inch of the top of the artichoke. Use kitchen shears to trim the sharp points off the leaves.
- Cook the artichokes until they are tender: You can boil, steam, or roast the artichokes. Make sure to cook them until they are tender enough to easily pull a leaf off.
- Wrap the artichokes in bacon before baking: This will help to keep the artichokes moist and flavorful. You can use any type of bacon you like, but thick-cut bacon will give you the best results.
- Bake the artichokes until the bacon is crispy: This will take about 20 minutes. You can also broil the artichokes for a few minutes to get the bacon extra crispy.
- Serve the artichokes with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include melted butter, ranch dressing, or hollandaise sauce.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped artichokes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual party to a formal dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your bacon-wrapped artichokes turn out perfectly every time.
