Artichoke Hearts a La Francese image

"For me, anything prepared Francese style - that is, made with lemon, wine, butter and capers - is a rich and wonderful treat. You can serve these delicious artichoke hearts as a side dish or over toasted slices of Italian bread, crostini, for a terrific appetizer. Be sure to spoon the luscious juices over the artichoke hearts as you serve them." - Chef Claire Criscuolo at her restaurant Claire's Corner Copia.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 ounces can artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
salt and pepper
3 eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup limoncello
3 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon capers, drained
3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into thin slices
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Cut the artichoke hearts into quarters.
  • Measure the flour into a shallow bowl and season it with salt and pepper.
  • In a deep bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
  • Set a plate by the bowl of flour.
  • Dredge the artichoke hearts in the seasoned flour, shake off the excess, then arrange them on the plate.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Working quickly, dip a few artichoke hearts at a time into the beaten eggs, then arrange them, single layer, in the heated oil.
  • Continue with the remaining artichoke hearts.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Using tongs, turn each artichoke heart and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Pour the Limoncello and wine evenly over the artichoke hearts, then scatter the capers on top.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and cook for 1 minute, carefully rotating the skillet to move the liquid.
  • Add the pieces of butter, scattering evenly over the top of the artichoke hearts.
  • Carefully move the skillet in a circular motion as the butter melts.
  • Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Taste for seasonings.
  • Place the artichoke hearts in a serving bowl and pour the sauce over, using a rubber spatula to scrape the juices from the skillet.
  • Scatter the parsley on top.
  • Serve immediately.
