Method
Preparation of Artichokes
- 1
Trim the Artichokes
Start by trimming the artichokes. Cut off the top third of each artichoke and remove the tough outer leaves until you reach the tender leaves. Cut the stems to about 1 inch in length.
- 2
Soak in Lemon Water
In a large bowl, fill with water and squeeze in the juice of one lemon. Submerge the trimmed artichokes in the lemon water to prevent browning for about 10 minutes.
Breading Process

Prepare the Breading Mixture
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Frying

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Fry the Artichokes
Carefully place the breaded artichokes in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Cool
Once fried, remove the artichokes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with a pinch of salt while still hot.

Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, chopped fresh dill, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well blended.
