List of Ingredients




4-6 Medium Artichokes
3/4 Cup All-purpose Flour
Salt & Pepper
3 Large Eggs, Beaten
Oil For Frying ( I use canola)
1/4 Cup Fresh Chopped Parsley
Lemon Wedges For Serving



Recipe



Clean the artichokes by removing the tough outer leaves and stem, ensuring a flat bottom to enable them to sit upright in a pot. Cut off about 1/3 from the top, and remove the prickly choke from inside. Place the cleaned artichoke immediately in a bowl of water with a little lemon juice to prevent discoloration.

Cut the artichokes into 1/8th of an inch slices and leave in the lemon water until ready to use. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Combine the flour, salt & pepper and place on a large plate.

Drain the artichokes and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge each slice into first the flour, then in the beaten eggs. Fry in batches, turning as necessary until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley, and serve on a platter with lemon wedges.

Cooks Tip: Keep the artichokes in a lemon water bath until you are ready to cook them to prevent discoloration. If you find it takes you a fairly long time to clean them, rub a lemon half over the exposed edges until you can get it into the prepared water bath.
