Roman Jewish Artichoke Recipe Cooking method
Roman artichoke recipe Ingredients:
• Artichokes
• Oil for frying
• A half a lemon for acidulating the water
Giuliano Malizia notes, in La Cucina romana e del Lazio, that they're
easy to make but require care, and quotes the late Secondino Freda,
of the Accademia Italian della Cucina:
Start making carciofi alla giudia as you would carciofi alla romana,
keeping the artichokes in acidulated water until you're ready to cook
them lest they blacken, then drain them well and pat them dry. Grip
the stem of an artichoke and smash the bulb straight down on your
work surface repeatedly while keeping the stem upright, so the petals
of the artichoke open out like a flower in bloom. Once they're all
open salt them, pepper them, and fry them in hot oil sufficient for
them to float. When the outsides are golden wet your hand and flick
a few drops of cold water over them; the oil will crackle and the
leaves will become crunchy. After a few minutes drain them well and
serve them hot.
