Artichokes

Method

Preparing the Artichokes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Artichokes

    Trim the stems and remove the tough outer leaves of the artichokes. Cut the artichokes in half and scoop out the fuzzy centers with a spoon.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Artichokes

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the artichoke halves for about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool.

Breading and Frying

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.

  2. 4

    Bread the Artichokes

    Dip each artichoke half into the flour mixture, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 5

    Fry the Artichokes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded artichokes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Making the Dipping Sauce

  1. 6

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fried artichokes warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
