AIR FRYER CRISPY ARTICHOKES



Air Fryer Crispy Artichokes image

The key to these crispy artichokes is to make sure they are split in half and fully patted dry. This prevents the inside of the artichokes from getting mushy and steamy. They are dipped in a lemony, garlic aioli that complements the lemon zest and oregano flavor in the crisp exterior of the artichokes.

Time 40m

Yield about 24 artichokes

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 14.5-ounce cans artichoke hearts in water, drained
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup panko
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Olive oil cooking spray, for frying
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 small clove garlic, grated
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the artichokes: Preheat an air fryer to 360˚ F. Pat the artichoke hearts dry. Halve lengthwise. Put the flour in a shallow bowl; lightly beat the eggs in a second bowl. Whisk the panko, lemon zest, oregano and kosher salt in a third bowl. Coat the artichokes in the flour, then the egg, then the panko mixture.

Categories     Braise     Sauté     Super Bowl     Dinner     Meat     Artichoke     Fennel     Party     Simmer     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield It'll serve four, maybe six, if you've got a couple of sides like wilted chard and mashed potatoes.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound (455 g) ground goat
1 large egg white
3 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
2 medium shallots, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon salt, halved and used in two places in the recipe
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, halved, same as with the salt
1/2 cup (225 g) whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 large fennel bulb, any stems and fronds removed, the tough root end sliced off and discarded, then the bulb itself chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1 pound (455 g) fresh baby artichokes, trimmed; or one 12-ounce (one 340-g) package whole or quartered frozen baby artichokes (no need to thaw)
1 1/3 cups (360 ml) reduced-sodium vegetable broth
1 1/2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tomato paste
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the ground meat, egg white, bread crumbs, shallots, oregano, dill, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper in a medium bowl until uniform-that is, until the spices are spread evenly throughout; the bread crumbs, too; and the egg white is no longer visible as a scummy film. Form this mixture into 12 golf balls.
  • 2. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Meanwhile, spread the flour on a plate. Swirl the oil into the pot, then roll half the balls in the flour. Put them in the pot and brown on all sides. (OK, geometry teachers, balls don't have sides. But you know what I mean.) About 7 minutes will do it. Transfer them to a plate and repeat with the remaining balls.
  • 3. Dump the onion, fennel, tomato, and artichokes into the pot. Stir over the heat until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • 4. Pour in the broth; stir in the tomato paste, lemon juice, cinnamon, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. As the mixture begins to simmer, make sure you scrape up any browned bits in the pot. Then tuck the meatballs into the simmering sauce and pour any juices on their plate over everything. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer slowly for 1 hour.

FRIED ARTICHOKE SANDWICH



Fried Artichoke Sandwich image

The battered and fried artichokes in this vegan sandwich recipe have a satisfying crunch and a kind of buttery and tangy bite to them that you're going to love.

Provided by Lauren Toyota

Categories     Sandwich     Vegetarian     Vegan     Artichoke     Spring     Summer     Lunch     Dinner     Deep-Fry     Fry     Pickles     Soy Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the cabbage slaw:
2 ½ cups finely shredded purple cabbage
1 batch Jalapeño Ranch, divided
½ tablespoon lime juice (about half a lime)
For the fried artichokes:
2-3 cups neutral vegetable oil, for frying
10-12 canned or jarred whole artichoke hearts (20 to 24 artichoke halves)
1 ¼ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour, divided
¾ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1-1 ½ cups club soda
For the sandwiches:
4 sesame seed buns
1 dill pickle, sliced into thin rounds (about ¼ cup)

Steps:

  • To make the cabbage slaw, combine the purple cabbage with 1 tablespoon of the jalapeño ranch and all the lime juice in a mixing bowl. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the fried artichokes.
  • To make the fried artichokes, in a deep fryer or in a large heavy- bottom pot with a thermometer attached heat the fryer oil to 360°F. If using a pot, it should be around a third full of oil. Set aside a large baking sheet with a wire rack on top to place the fried artichokes on. Do not rest them on paper towels as they will become soggy.
  • Drain the artichoke hearts from the can or jar and cut them in half if they're whole. Gently squeeze out any excess water from the artichoke pieces by patting between paper towels or with a clean tea towel so that the artichokes aren't super wet.
  • To a large mixing bowl, add ½ cup of the gluten-free flour. In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ¾ cup of the flour, the cornstarch, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne.
  • Once the oil is to temperature, add 1 cup of the club soda to the flour mixture to start and gently whisk until combined. Add more club soda as needed to ensure the batter is loose enough to dip and dredge the artichokes but thick enough that it sticks and doesn't run right off too much. (The amount of liquid varies, as I find gluten-free flours to have varying hydration levels.) Use one hand to coat 4 or 5 artichoke halves in the flour dredge and then coat one piece at a time in the liquid batter. Lift each piece from the batter and let the excess drip off. Quickly place the battered artichokes directly in the hot oil and fry the first batch for 4 to 6 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
  • Use a slotted spoon or a pair of tongs to place the artichokes onto the wire rack, and continue frying in batches.
  • To make the sandwiches, lightly toast the buns. Spread the remain- ing jalapeño ranch on the inside of the top and bottom buns. Add the purple cabbage slaw to the bottom bun and top with pickles, 4 or 5 fried artichoke pieces, and the top bun.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh artichokes. Fresh artichokes have a more vibrant flavor and are less likely to be tough.
  • Trim the artichokes properly. Be sure to remove the tough outer leaves and the fuzzy choke from the center of the artichoke.
  • Cook the artichokes until they are tender. You can boil, steam, or roast the artichokes. Just be sure to cook them until they are tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
  • Use a food processor to chop the artichokes. This will help to ensure that the artichokes are evenly chopped and will make it easier to mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Add plenty of flavor to the meatballs. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and cheeses to create a flavorful meatball mixture.
  • Cook the meatballs until they are crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. You can bake, pan-fry, or air-fry the meatballs. Just be sure to cook them until they are crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.

Conclusion:

Crispy artichoke meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior, these meatballs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
