Carciofi Dorati E Fritti To quote the author, "The reason why these
fried artichokes are called dorati (golden) is that they are dipped in
beaten eggs before frying...eggs from chickens raised on farms have
yolks of a much richer color than the eggs on finds in the market today,
and food dipped in eggs acquire a golden color...The best artichokes for
this dish are the very best fresh and tender ones which have no choke at
all and require only a very short cooking time." Prepare artichokes as
directed in "How to clean artichokes - Jewish styles"."Cut in half
lengthwise and cut each half into 3 wedges,; keep them in this
acidulated water (lemon water) for no longer than 15 minutes. Drain and
pat dry with paper towels. Dredge with flour and shake to remove
excess. Beat the eggs yolks together. Heat the oil in a small frying
pan. Dip artichokes in beaten egg and fry, a few at a time, in
moderately hot oil till lightly browned on all sides. Sprinkle with
salt, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
