Fried marinated artichokes are a delectable appetizer or side dish that combines the tangy flavor of marinated artichokes with the crispy, golden-brown texture of fried food. This dish is perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to formal dinner parties. There are many different recipes for fried marinated artichokes, but they all share a few key ingredients: artichokes, marinade, and breading. The marinade typically consists of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, while the breading is usually made from flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Once the artichokes are marinated and breaded, they are fried until golden brown and crispy. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and addictive.

MARINATED ARTICHOKES

As a judge on Chopped, Amanda Freitag has seen her fair share of scary ingredients: cactus pears, ginkgo nuts, sea urchin. But one of the most intimidating ingredients she has encountered is far less exotic: the artichoke. Amanda's advice is to start small and tackle baby artichokes first, then move on to the big ones - the prep is essentially the same. In this recipe, from her cookbook The Chef Next Door, Amanda shows us the easiest way to get to the good stuff and a super-simple way to preserve it.

Time 2h

Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 lemons, halved crosswise
16 baby artichokes (or 6 large artichokes)
3 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 heads garlic, halved crosswise
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 bunch fresh tarragon
1 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with cold water and squeeze 3 of the lemons into it (this is known as acidulated water). Keep it off the heat for now. The cut artichoke hearts have to head straight into the lemon water to keep them from browning.
  • Trim the artichokes: Lay an artichoke on its side and trim the brown woody tip of the stem. Using a very sharp or serrated knife, cut the top one-third of the thorny artichoke leaves off, leaving a flattened top. Use your hands to tear off the toughest outermost leaves from around the bottom of the artichoke, leaving most of the leaves untouched. Lay the artichoke on the board again and this time cut it in half lengthwise, from stem to top. Using a paring knife or a peeler, carefully peel off the outermost layer of the stem. Use a spoon to scrape away the inedible furry choke in the center of the artichoke. Voila-you have an artichoke heart! Quick, put it in the acidulated water. Repeat to trim the rest of the artichokes.
  • Poach the artichokes: Add more water to the pot if needed to cover the artichokes. Season the water with 3 tablespoons salt. Place the pot over medium-low heat and bring the water to a simmer. Poach the artichokes for about 15 minutes, or until they're easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain the artichokes. Transfer them to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Marinate the artichokes: In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic halves cut-side down and sear them until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the thyme and tarragon. Squeeze the remaining 3 lemons into the pan and throw in the squeezed lemon halves as well. Add the wine and simmer on high heat until it has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 4 cups olive oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring the marinade to a boil, then turn off the heat.
  • Carefully pour the hot marinade over the artichokes and stir to combine. Transfer the artichokes and marinade to mason jars with lids or airtight containers and refrigerate. Marinate for at least 1 hour, but ideally overnight, before serving. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

EASY MARINATED ARTICHOKES



Easy Marinated Artichokes image

Store-bought marinated artichokes are too expensive and are consumed faster than the time it takes to open the jar. I created this recipe with simple ingredients that are already found in the kitchen. It's delicious by itself, but feel free to experiment and even make your own artichoke salad. It's not like the real deal...it's better! Enjoy immediately or chill the marinated artichokes for at least an hour before serving.

FRIED ARTICHOKES



Fried Artichokes image

These deserve to be served as a separate course, eaten with your fingers. The basic method is the same for French fries - the first frying cooks and the second, hotter frying crisps. Roman cimaroli or mammole artichokes do not have the sharp thorns of our American globe variety and are picked before their chokes have fully developed, so I have made some adjustments to the original recipe to remove the choke here. Don't let it intimidate you; the first frying and a grapefruit spoon or melon baller makes it relatively easy to manage.

Categories     appetizer, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons fine sea salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
Juice and rind of 2 lemons
8 American globe artichokes
Olive oil for frying

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.

FRIED ARTICHOKES

D: These crisp delights are an appetizer staple all over Italy, usually served in a cone of paper, to go with a great roasted meat dish. This recipe calls for a quick dredging in flour before frying, but if you want an extra layer of mouthwatering crunch, try the beer batter mixture we use in our Fish Taco recipe.

Provided by Food Network

Time 36m

Yield s: 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

5 medium-size artichokes
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Fish Tacos, recipe follows, for serving
1 1/2 pounds mixed heirloom tomatoes, not overly ripe, medium dice
3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, stems removed, coarsely chopped
1/2 small red onion, diced small (about 1/2 cup)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch radishes, scrubbed clean, tops trimmed
8 ounces (1 package) marinated white anchovy fillets (boquerones), sliced into strips
1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup medium ground semolina flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 bottle lager beer
Canola oil, for frying (you'll need at least 4 to 8 cups)
2 pounds tilapia
Twelve 4-inch soft corn tortillas, or smallest size available
2 cups shredded lettuce, for serving
1 avocado, sliced, for serving
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, remove the outer leaves, and trim the artichoke down to the choke. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the woody outermost layer of the stem.
  • Use a spoon to remove the inedible hairy leaves and slice into quarters. Place the artichokes in a bowl of water with some lemon juice to keep the artichoke from oxidizing or turning brown.
  • Add the flour to a casserole dish and whisk in some salt and pepper.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a high-sided skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Dredge the artichokes in the flour, shaking off the excess. Once the oil is hot, slip the artichokes in the hot oil and fry for about 4 to 5 minutes, using tongs to flip them from time to time.
  • Transfer the artichokes and let drain on a paper towel-lined platter and sprinkle with salt.
  • Serve with Fish Tacos.
  • For the pico de gallo: Mix together the tomatoes, capers, olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro and onions in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the radishes: Slice the radishes in half lengthwise, then into thin half-moons (and a few into quarter moons, if you want, for varied texture). Toss the radishes together with the anchovies, parsley and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the fish tacos: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, semolina flour, baking powder, sea salt and some pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the beer and set aside.
  • Add enough canola oil to a large cast-iron or other low-sided skillet to come halfway up the sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. (Use a deep fry thermometer to be sure - or do it the grandma way and add a piece of bread to see if it fries and browns - if it does, it's ready).
  • Slice the tilapia into 1/2-inch strips or "finger"-size pieces.
  • When the oil is hot, dip each piece of tilapia into the batter using tongs, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully add to the hot oil one piece at a time. Fry in batches until golden brown and the fish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spider or skimmer and drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, warm the tortillas by wrapping them in foil and placing them in the oven for 10 minutes. To serve, place one piece of fish on a warmed tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce and an avocado slice. Serve with a lemon wedge, pico de gallo and radishes with anchovies.

1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 ounces radicchio leaves, (preferably Treviso)
Ice water

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with cold water. Add juice of 2 lemons; set aside. Remove outer leaves from artichokes.
