Fried artichokes in sauce
Ingredients
- Salt - to taste
- Serrano Chili - 3.5 oz
- Onion - 2 pieces
- Olive Oil - 3 tablespoons
- Safflower Oil - 17 fl oz
- Wheat Flour - 2 tablespoons
- Artichoke bottoms - 12 pieces
- Lemon - 1 piece
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of one half into a large bowl of water. Trim the stems off the artichokes and remove the tough outer leaves. Trim the tips of the remaining leaves. Open the artichokes and remove the choke. Drizzle the artichokes with the juice of the remaining half of the lemon and place them in the lemon water.
Step 2
Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot, add the artichokes, and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 35 minutes until they are tender. (Try gently pulling off a leaf – it should come away easily). Drain the water by turning the artichokes upside down and pressing them gently. Reserve 750 ml of the cooking water.
Step 3
Cut the artichokes lengthwise. Sprinkle them with half of the flour and shake off the excess.
Step 4
Heat the sunflower oil in a skillet, add the artichokes, and fry until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place them in a heavy-bottomed pot.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in another skillet. Add the finely chopped onion and cook over low heat, stirring, for 8 minutes until it starts to brown. Stir in the remaining flour, cook for another 2 minutes, then pour in the artichoke broth. Cook for another 5 minutes, then add the finely chopped ham. Season with salt to taste and pour the sauce over the artichokes.
Step 6
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Serve immediately in the same dish.
