🥢 Crispy artichoke? Yes, and it’s going to become your favorite appetizer
Think you know artichokes? Wait until you try them in tempura form. This recipe will literally transform your way of seeing (and savoring) this often underestimated vegetable. Light, crispy, melting… each bite is a revelation.
This is not just a recipe. It’s an explosion of textures and flavors that will sweep your taste buds off their feet. And the cherry on top: it’s super easy to prepare, even if you’re a beginner in the kitchen!
🔥 Why it’s a hit (and on the plates)
The trick lies in the batter. An airy tempura batter made from ice-cold (or sparkling for the bold) water, sifted flour, and a deft hand. The result? A crispy shell that doesn’t overshadow the delicate flavor of the artichoke, but enhances it.
You’re also going to love the “wow” factor at the table: placed on a nice plate, accompanied by a homemade sauce (lemony, soy, or honey-ginger), it’s the bite that makes a sensation at the appetizer. And you know what? It’s much simpler than it looks.
🧑🍳 How to get your artichoke tempura right, even if you’re not a pro
- Choose ultra fresh artichokes: green leaves, compact, without spots.
- Prepare them carefully: remove tough leaves, cut the hearts and let them soak in lemony water.
- Make your quick batter: flour + ice-cold water = magic. Don’t overmix, lightness is key.
- Heat the oil to exactly 180°C. Not more, not less. And don’t overcrowd the fryer.
- Dip. Sizzle. Brown. And drain on paper towels.
Add a pinch of fleur de sel just before serving. It’s the little twist that changes everything.
