Time 25m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 artichoke hearts (canned), drained and cut in half lengthwise
1/3 cup flour plus extra for dredging artichokes
1 egg
2 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 ounce water
1 ounce red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon minced shallots
2 ounces dry white wine
2 egg yolks
8 ounces clarified butter
Salt and white pepper to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 1-pound can vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Dredge the artichoke hearts lightly in flour, and set aside.
  • In a bowl, mix the egg, milk and salt. In a separate bowl, combine 1/3 cup flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the egg mixture. It should have the consistency of light pancake batter.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, tarragon, shallots and white wine. Bring to a boil, and reduce until only about 2 tablespoons liquid remain in the pan. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In the top bowl of a double boiler over medium-low heat, whisk together the egg yolks and the reduced tarragon liquid. Remove from heat, and whip the butter very gradually into the mixture. When all the butter has been absorbed, season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Keep warm until served.
  • In a deep saucepan or wok, heat vegetable shortening to 375 degrees. There should be enough oil to cover the artichokes. Using up to six artichoke halves at a time, dip each in the batter, drain the excess and drop in the oil, frying until golden brown. Remove and drain well on paper towels, and keep warm. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
  • Serve with bearnaise sauce.

These fritters were easy to make and turned out great! I used canned artichoke hearts and they worked perfectly. The bearnaise sauce was also very easy to make and it really took the fritters to the next level.

I'm not usually a fan of artichokes, but these fritters were surprisingly good! The flavors and textures were perfectly balanced. I would definitely make these again.

These fritters were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

The bearnaise sauce was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These fritters were good, but not great. The artichoke flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These artichoke fritters were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the bearnaise sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.
