Ingredients

Makes 6 servings 1x 2x 4x

Beer Battered Artichoke Hearts
Vegetable oil, for frying
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for finishing
1 (12 ounce) bottle lager-style beer
Zest of 1 lemon (reserve lemon juice for the remoulade)
1 (16 ounce) jar Marinated Artichoke Hearts drained and patted dry
Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish
Grilled Artichoke Remoulade
1 cup mayonnaise
4 anchovy filets, finely minced
2 tablespoons Imported Non-Pareil Capers minced
1/2 cup Grilled Artichoke Hearts chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375°F*.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt and slowly whisk in the beer until smooth. Add the lemon zest and stir just to combine.
Dip the Mezzetta® Grilled Artichoke Hearts into the batter and allow any excess to drip back into the bowl. Fry the artichoke hearts, in batches, until crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the artichoke hearts to a paper towel lined plates and sprinkle additional kosher salt. Repeat this process with the remaining artichoke hearts.
To make the remoulade, add all of the ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Serve alongside the beer battered artichoke hearts for dipping and sprinkle the artichoke hearts with chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy!
