Fine salt to taste

Preparation

How to prepare Artichoke Cutlets

To prepare the artichoke cutlets, start by cleaning the artichokes: remove the outermost and toughest leaves 1, then cut off the tips 2 and use a small knife to clean the base 3.

Cut the artichokes vertically into 3 or 4 slices about 0.4-0.6 inches thick 4. Finally, use a small knife to remove the choke 5. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt 6.

Dip the artichoke slices in the eggs 7 and then coat them with breadcrumbs 8. Continue until all pieces are breaded 9.

Heat about an inch of oil in a large enough pan. When it's hot (you can check the temperature by dropping a pinch of breadcrumbs in the oil to see if it sizzles), fry a few artichokes at a time 10 on both sides until golden; it will take about 2 minutes per side. Drain the artichokes on paper towels and salt to taste 11. Your artichoke cutlets are ready to be enjoyed, served with a yogurt sauce and lemon wedges if desired 12!

Storage

It is recommended to consume the artichoke cutlets immediately. If necessary, you can store them in the refrigerator for 1-2 days in an airtight container.

You can freeze the raw, breaded artichokes and fry them directly from frozen, making sure to slightly increase the cooking time.
