I’ve been a little quiet online but only because work has taken over almost every aspect of my life recently. So a short post this week, a photo recipe – fried artichokes, just as I learned to make from my mother-in-law. The recipe is very forgiving if your artichokes are a little older with more of a hairy choke in the centre. That’s seasoned plain flour for dusting (though results were better with less flour) and sunflower oil for frying. We dined on the crispy slices with bread and Spanish ham that night. Delicious!

I found fresh Artichoke at Hakikat shop in Acton recently(at bus stop opposite Acton old town hall). It’s 45p each. Yummy.

I love the way artichokes look. They look like flowery asparagus, I haven’t pluck up the courage to buy them yet. I never know which part is edible. Yours looks very delicious!

Hey, this is great I remember reading that post and thinking I wanted to learn how to make this. It looks very delicious. Did you clean off the hairy bit in the middle of the artichoke before slicing it?

I adore fried artichokes – I do them in an egg and flour batter, but next time I will try this way just with the flour.

Brilliant, thanks for posting the recipe. I will be trying them very very soon.

Hi Su-Lin – I hope things get a bit better at work so we can have more wonderful posts like this!

Mmm very interesting! I’ve never seen artichokes cooked this way so I’m really interested in the texture and taste! 🙂

I’ve only ever had artichokes steamed and dipped in vinaigrette – these look delicious.

One of the clearest recipes I’ve ever seen. Showing it to Logan now and demanding fried dinner artichokes!

mallorymurray: Thank you!
Panotr: 😀 And that’s exactly where I bought them!
Alison: The first two photos shows how much to trim off if buying this kind of artichoke. I’ve got a roasted artichoke recipe on the blog too if you’ve got those big globe artichokes!
Luiz: I didn’t – and they still turned out fine. I think the frying just crisps everything up.
Donald: Oh yes!
maomau: Exactly! Except fruit salad. Probably best not to fry fruit salad.
Foodycat: Oooh, Blai’s mother also used to do it in that way but then moved on to this style. Personally I prefer it as in the recipe above.
Helen: Hope they turn out for you!
Marie: Thank you!
Kirk: Thanks! I’ve got another 2-3 weeks like this so the next few posts will be a combo of local restaurants I never had a chance to write about and recipes I’ve been storing for a rainy day!
Lorraine: The taste is all artichoke! And well, frying is always good, no?
shayma: They remind me of Rome too! And these require considerably less oil that those cooked a la giudia.
Lizzie: Fry em!
Rachel: 😀 Are artichokes easy to get in Texas?

Oh wow, these look absolutely amazing. I love artichokes. Must try this!!! =)

[…] The Fried Artichokes were thinly sliced like those at Cerveseria Catalana but they weren’t as expertly fried. Again, they could have done with better draining and they were on the greasy side. The best are still my mother-in-law’s! […]
