TENDER ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Steps:
- Remove the tough outer leaves of the artichoke and carve away the rough outer skin around the base and stem of the vegetable with a paring knife. Halve them and remove the chokes.
- Slice the artichokes and rub each slice with lemon. Soak them in a bowl of water with freshly squeezed lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Heat up 3 inches of extra-virgin olive oil in a pot with high sides to 350 degrees F.
- Remove the artichokes from the water and shake and pat off as much water as possible before dredging each slice into the beaten egg, and then into the flour. Fry immediately in batches in the hot oil until golden brown.
- Remove the artichoke slices from the oil, and place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Season with salt immediately. Serve.
ROASTED ARTICHOKE HEARTS PROVENCAL
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Toss the artichoke hearts, olives, capers, orange zest, tomatoes and garlic with the wine, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast, stirring once or twice, until the tomatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with more salt and top with the basil.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality artichoke hearts: Look for artichoke hearts that are firm and have a light green color. Avoid any that are brown or have a slimy texture.
- Marinate the artichoke hearts: Marinating the artichoke hearts in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist during baking.
- Use a variety of toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings. Some popular options include bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and chopped nuts.
- Bake until golden brown: The artichoke hearts should be baked until they are golden brown and tender. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve immediately: Baked artichoke hearts are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
