These 3 ingredient beer-battered artichoke hearts are a real treat, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
One large artichoke contains only 25 calories, no fat, a bunch of potassium and is a good source of vitamin C, folate, magnesium and dietary fiber. To keep things healthy, be sure to use dressings, sauces and dips that are low in fat too.
Ingredients
Artichokes
- 32 ounce bottle of organic, verified non gmo canola oil for frying
- 2 – 14 ounce cans of whole artichoke hearts packed in water
- 1 cup organic unbleached white flour
- 1 cup beer
- salt/pepper to taste
Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup low-fat mayo
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt to taste
- handful of chives, chopped
Instructions
- Fill a pot with a decent amount of canola oil. Heat up oil to 375 degrees.
- Drain artichokes and pat dry, squeezing out any remaining water. Place them on a paper towel so it absorbs the water.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and beer. Add salt and pepper.
- Once the oil is hot, dip artichoke hearts in batter and place in oil. Let them fry 3-5 minutes. Flipping them over if need be. Do not overcrowd the pot. Repeat the process until all artichokes hearts are fried.
- Place fried artichoke hearts on a plate lined with a paper towel to reduce excess oil.
- Sprinkle with salt.
- For the dipping sauce, mix all ingredients together well. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
