Best 4 Delicious Deep Fried Artichokes Recipes

DEEP-FRIED ARTICHOKES (CARCIOFI ALLA GIUDIA)

Steps:

• Prepare some acidulated water for the artichokes to keep them from turning brown.
• Halve the lemons and squeeze the juice into a bowl large enough to comfortably hold the artichokes.
• Place the lemons in the bowl with the juice and fill the bowl halfway with cold water.
• As you clean the artichokes place them in the acidulated water.
• Clean the artichokes by removing the tough outer leaves and peeling away the outer layer of the stem.
• Cut off the top 1/4 to 1/3 of the artichoke.
• Remove the inner beard and place the artichoke in acidulated water.
• Once the artichokes are cleaned, drain them well, and pat dry.
• Rap the artichokes gently on a cutting board to open them up.
• Gently open them up a bit further by spreading leaves.
• Deep fry for 10 minutes or until golden brown and tender on the inside in 150° C (300° F) oil, turning frequently.
• Make sure theyou use for frying is deep enough to hold the oil and artichokes without any risk of overflowing. I suggest filling the pot no more than half way with oil. If necessary, fry the artichokes in batches.
• It's essential to maintain the 300°F temperature to be sure the artichokes are tender on the inside and crisp & golden on the outside. I use a to keep track of the temperature.
• Remove the artichokes with a , then drain on a draining rack or brown paper placed on top of old newspapers.
• Salt the artichokes and serve immediately, or keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.

DEEP FRIED BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl halfway with water. Squeeze the lemon halves into the water and add the lemons. Trim the stem of 1 artichoke. Starting at the base, bend the tough outer leaves back and pull off where they break naturally. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the dark green skin from the base. Halve the artichoke lengthwise and scoop out any choke. Add to the lemon water. Repeat with the remaining artichokes.
• Heat the oil in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat until a thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Drain the artichokes and pat dry. Working in 2 batches, add the artichokes to the hot oil and cook until they are tender and golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried artichokes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt while artichokes are still warm and serve.

FRIED ARTICHOKE SANDWICH

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.
