How to Make 1 000 Artichoke Hearts

  1. Gently squeeze excess liquid from 1000g (approximately 2 lbs) artichoke hearts and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  2. Whisk 2 large eggs in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended). Dip each artichoke heart in the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the artichoke hearts in batches for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  4. In a small sauté pan, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Add the fried artichoke hearts to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes, gently basting each heart with the garlic butter. Take care not to burn the butter or garlic.
  6. Serve immediately in the sauté pan, alongside crusty bread like French or Italian bread for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
