Method

ANTIPASTI

  1. 1

    Drain canned artichoke hearts and pat dry. Finely chop until pieces are about 1/4 inch.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and cayenne until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk egg with milk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add chopped artichokes, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon zest to the dry mixture. Pour in the wet batter and stir until a thick, cohesive batter forms.

  5. 5

    Add enough oil to a deep skillet or pot to reach about 2 inches depth. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Scoop batter by heaping teaspoons or small rounded tablespoons and carefully drop into hot oil. Fry in batches until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Transfer beignets to a paper towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt while warm.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with lemon aioli or your favorite dipping sauce.
