Crispy Roman Artichokes Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Preparing the Artichokes

   Trim the stems of the Roman artichokes, and remove any tough outer leaves until you reach the tender inner leaves. Cut off the top third of each artichoke.

2. 2

   Cooking the Artichokes

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the artichokes and cook for about 15 minutes or until they are tender. Remove from water and let them cool.

3. 3

   Frying the Artichokes

   Heat the olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the artichokes cut side down. Fry until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Serving

   Season the crispy artichokes with salt and black pepper. Grate Pecorino Romano over the top and serve immediately with caper vinaigrette on the side.
