Preparation

Step 1

In a food processors, slowly process the egg yolks, garlic, and 1 TBS of lemon juice until combined. Allow this mixture to thicken. Slowly add olive oil as it becomes thicker. Set aside.

Step 2

Tear off the hard outer leaves of the artichokes, and cut the rough ends off the inner leaves. Cut the artichokes in lengthwise into fourths. With a spoon or knife, take out the hairy inside of the artichokes. In a large bowl of water, squeeze the remaining lemon juice into the bowl and add the quarters.

Step 3

Fill a separate bowl with flour, 11/2 TBS Bourbon Smoked Pepper, and 2 TBS Bourbon Smoked Salt. Heat a saucepan with 3 inches of grape seed oil to 325. Take each quarter out of the water, pat it dry with a towel, cover it in the flour mixture, and place it in the hot oil. Work in batches of 3-4, and fry the artichokes for about 3-4 minutes. Remove the artichokes from the oil, and let them drain throughly. Serve with the garlic aioli. This recipe is adaped from a Cooking for Friends recipe.
