Main Ingredients

Seasoning and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Artichokes

    If using fresh artichokes, steam them until tender, then remove the leaves and hearts. If using canned artichokes, drain and rinse them thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one shallow dish, place the flour. In a second dish, beat the eggs until well mixed. In a third dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bread the Artichokes

    Coat each artichoke heart first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the Parmesan cheese mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil and Butter

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.

  3. 5

    Fry the Artichokes

    Carefully place the breaded artichokes into the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, then scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 7

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley to the sauce. Stir well to combine and allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  3. 8

    Combine and Serve

    Return the fried artichokes to the skillet and coat them with the sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
