Photo: Artichoke Fritters Recipe
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 1 (18-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 lemon, to squeeze over fritters
- Kosher salt, to sprinkle
- Lemon Cream, recipe follows, optional
Directions
Pour 3 inches of vegetable oil into a heavy bottomed pot and place over medium heat until a bread cube placed in the oil browns within 1 minute.
Coarsely chop the artichokes (or alternatively crush by hand) and put them in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic and scallions, milk, egg, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a separate bowl and quickly mix the dry ingredients into the artichoke mix. Drop the fritters by the heaping tablespoonful into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Work in batches until all the batter is used. Keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Immediately before serving, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over all and hit with a bit of kosher salt. Serve with a dollop of Lemon Cream on top, if desired.
Lemon Cream:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I thought these were really good but to bring it home and make it GREAT i sprinkled on ranch powdered seasoning mix when they came out of the fryer! So for those who want some more zip and flavor try this. I still made as directed and with the sauce too. I aslo made garlic lemon aoli. Yummmmmmmmm!
Tell me what u think of this.

This recipe is VERY easy and the fitters come out fabulous. However, I like a little more zing in my fritter so next time I'm going to add some cayenne pepper or other spices to give them a little bit more punch. All in all, though, this is a great recipe to start from!
