Ingredients

Dip:

  • 225 g preserved artichoke hearts in water - drained (if using oil-cured, add less olive oil)
  • 250 g cooked butter beans
  • 1-2 garlic cloves
  • 2 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • ½-1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp cold water - more as needed
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • Lemon Harissa Oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp harissa paste - more or less to taste
  • ½-1 tbsp lemon juice
  • lemon zest of ½ lemon

Fried Artichokes:

Garnish:

  • 1 tbsp finely topped parsley

Instructions

Artichoke Butter Bean Dip:

  • Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until creamy. Add more water if needed. Taste and adjust lemon and salt to taste.

Lemon Harissa Oil:

  • Gently heat olive oil in a small pan, and add the harissa paste, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until harissa is dissolved and remove from heat.

Fried Artichokes:

  • Prepare the fried artichokes just before serving so they’re crispy and warm.
  • Whisk together almond milk and vinegar in a bowl, it should curdle, leave at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Stir again.
  • Mix flour, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, add other spices if you want.
  • Dip the artichokes in the flour, make sure they are well coated, then dip in the milk and repeat again, finishing in the flour;  flour-milk-flour-milk-flour.
  • Cover the bottom of a pan with oil (around 1 cm) and heat it.
  • Gently place the artichokes in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides.
  • Remove artichokes from the pan and place them on a wire rack (or paper towel-lined plate) to let the excess oil drip off and also immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Serving:

  • Spread the dip in a thick layer on a plate and top with the fried artichokes, drizzle some of the lemon harissa oil on top and finish with parsley. Serve immediately while artichokes are warm and crispy. You can also serve the fried artichokes on the side or just make the dip on its own.
