Fried Artichokes
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Artichokes
Trim the artichokes by removing the tough outer leaves and cutting off the tops. Slice them in half and remove the choke. Soak the halves in water with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.

Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and water until smooth.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Artichokes
Dip each artichoke half into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Aioli
In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped fresh herbs to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
