Fried Artichoke Hearts Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Place seasoned bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Dip artichoke hearts in the egg mixture, then roll in bread crumbs until they are fully covered.
• Deep-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until deep golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain excess oil. When all the pieces have been fried, place on a serving tray and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Drain artichoke hearts.
• In separate bowls, set out buttermilk, flour, and Panko.
• Dip artichoke hearts in buttermilk, then dredge in flour, then dip in buttermilk again, then dredge in Panko.
• Cover and refrigerate 4-24 hours.
• While oil is heating, prepare sauce in a small saucepan by combining butter, lemon juice, garlic, and white wine.
• In small batches, fry artichoke hearts until golden brown, drain on paper towels. Transfer to serving plate. Drizzle sauce over top, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve hot with additional sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Thaw the artichoke hearts.
• Place flour in a bowl and add egg yolks, nutmeg and salt, pepper and tabasco to taste. Gradually beat in 1 cup milk. Stir in baking powder. Coat artichokes in batter. Adjust the consistancy with the extra milk if needed.
• Drop the artichokes one at a time into oil (deep enough to cover artichokes), heated to 360 degrees. Cook, turning, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce (I like ranch or flavored mayo)!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
• In a food processor, combine the crackers, basil, cheese, parsley and garlic salt and process to fine crumbs (the texture of breadcrumbs). Roll the artichoke hearts in the cracker crumb mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the cracker crumbs are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Arrange the artichokes on a serving platter with toothpicks. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
• Lay artichoke hearts in a single layer on a paper towel-lined plate. Pat dry with more paper towels.
• Whisk flour, water, baking powder, and salt together in a shallow dish until well combined. Mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, and paprika together in a separate shallow dish.
• Dip an artichoke heart in the flour mixture until lightly coated; allow any excess to drip off. Coat in bread crumbs, then set aside on a plate. Repeat the breading process with remaining artichoke hearts.
• Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Lightly spray ½ of the breaded artichoke hearts with cooking spray. Place 1 inch apart in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
• Air-fry until golden and crisp, about 7 minutes, turning halfway through. Repeat to cook remaining batch.
• Let stand 5 minutes after cooking to cool slightly. Serve with lemony mayo.

Steps:

• Mix salt and pepper in a small bowl. Fill a large bowl with water and add juice and rinds of lemons. Set both bowls aside.
• Using a sharp paring or bird's beak knife, shave off the tough outer leaves of artichokes until you reach the tender pale green or yellow leaves and create a bulbous shape. Cut off at least an inch of the thorny top. Trim the stem near the heart, peeling off the outer green fiber and leaving about 2 inches of stem if possible. Immediately put the artichokes in the lemon water to prevent browning.
• Fill an electric fryer or deep cast-iron enameled pot with enough oil to almost cover artichokes. Heat to 325 degrees. While oil is heating, dry artichokes well with paper towels. Tap the flat top of the cut artichoke against the table to loosen the leaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, rubbing in the seasoning.
• Fry artichokes in batches. Cook, turning occasionally with tongs, for about 15 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the stem at its thickest point. The outside should be bronzed.
• Remove artichokes from oil and drain well, stem side up, on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Gently open leaves to remove choke (using a grapefruit spoon or melon baller) and encourage the leaves to spread. You can now freeze them or leave them out, stem side up, for a few hours until ready to finish.
• When ready to serve, reheat the oil to 350. Working in batches again, return artichokes, stem side up, to hot oil just to crisp. Drain well and serve immediately with a sprinkle of salt. Eat with your fingers.

Steps:

• To make the cabbage slaw, combine the purple cabbage with 1 tablespoon of the jalapeño ranch and all the lime juice in a mixing bowl. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the fried artichokes.
• To make the fried artichokes, in a deep fryer or in a large heavy- bottom pot with a thermometer attached heat the fryer oil to 360°F. If using a pot, it should be around a third full of oil. Set aside a large baking sheet with a wire rack on top to place the fried artichokes on. Do not rest them on paper towels as they will become soggy.
• Drain the artichoke hearts from the can or jar and cut them in half if they're whole. Gently squeeze out any excess water from the artichoke pieces by patting between paper towels or with a clean tea towel so that the artichokes aren't super wet.
• To a large mixing bowl, add ½ cup of the gluten-free flour. In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ¾ cup of the flour, the cornstarch, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne.
• Once the oil is to temperature, add 1 cup of the club soda to the flour mixture to start and gently whisk until combined. Add more club soda as needed to ensure the batter is loose enough to dip and dredge the artichokes but thick enough that it sticks and doesn't run right off too much. (The amount of liquid varies, as I find gluten-free flours to have varying hydration levels.) Use one hand to coat 4 or 5 artichoke halves in the flour dredge and then coat one piece at a time in the liquid batter. Lift each piece from the batter and let the excess drip off. Quickly place the battered artichokes directly in the hot oil and fry the first batch for 4 to 6 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
• Use a slotted spoon or a pair of tongs to place the artichokes onto the wire rack, and continue frying in batches.
• To make the sandwiches, lightly toast the buns. Spread the remain- ing jalapeño ranch on the inside of the top and bottom buns. Add the purple cabbage slaw to the bottom bun and top with pickles, 4 or 5 fried artichoke pieces, and the top bun.
