ROMAN-JEWISH FRIED ARTICHOKES (CARCIOFI ALLA GIUDIA) RECIPE



Roman-Jewish Fried Artichokes (Carciofi alla Giudia) Recipe image

Deep-fried artichokes may be one of the best examples of the Roman-Jewish mastery of deep frying techniques. Shatteringly crisp outside, tender within, and as pop-able as potato chips, this is the way we all should usher in spring.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lemons, divided
3 pounds artichokes (about 24 baby artichokes or 6 large artichokes)
1 to 2 quarts of Extra-virgin olive oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil, for frying
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with water; halve and squeeze 2 lemons into it. Trim artichokes following Roman-Jewish artichoke guidelines shown here : Remove tough dark green outer leaves to expose more tender light-green leaves within, then, using a paring knife, cut off top half of each leaf and trim base and stem. Trimmed artichokes will look like a closed rosebud. Transfer the peeled artichokes to the bowl of lemon water as you work, covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them completely submerged.
  • In a large saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to 280°F (130°C). Add artichokes (they should produce a steady but non-violent stream of bubbles) and cook until tender (you should be able to pierce their hearts easily with a fork), adjusting heat to maintain a steady bubble, about 10 minutes for baby artichokes and 15 minutes for larger ones. Turn larger artichokes frequently for even cooking.
  • Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer artichokes to a paper towel-lined plate. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Using your hands, gently pull open each artichoke "bud" so that it resembles an open flower. If using large artichokes, remove and discard the hair "choke" in the center of the artichoke. Increase oil temperature to 350°F (177°C).
  • Fry artichokes until browned and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season immediately with salt. Transfer to plates and serve right away with wedges of remaining lemon.

FINOCCHI ALLA GIUDIA



Finocchi alla Giudia image

Fennel Braised with Garlic Many Jews of Ashkenazic descent do not consume legumes during Passover, and, of this group, there are those who consider fennel a legume.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 small or 6 large fennel bulbs (sometimes called anise)
6 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1/2 to 3/4 cup vegetable broth or water

Steps:

  • Trim fennel stalks flush with bulbs, reserving stalks for another use, and trim any discolorations from bulbs. Cut bulbs lengthwise in half or into quarters. Cut out most of cores, leaving enough to keep pieces intact, and discard cores.
  • In a 12-inch heavy skillet warm oil over moderate heat and cook garlic until pale golden. Discard garlic and cook fennel, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup broth or water and salt to taste and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally and adding more liquid if necessary, until fennel is very tender and golden brown, about 20 minutes (sauce should be syrupy and golden).
