| From: All Recipes (reviewed 5th October 2022)Terrific technique which I'm looking forward to trying with chicken and pork. I even overcooked the steaks to try and get enough color on the crumb coating, but the pounding out (and the coating) saved them from being rubbery. I did apply a second coating of crumbs, just massaged in by hand, to return some texture after pounding in the first layer. |
| From: All Recipes (reviewed 23rd April 2017)Chef John's blog and video point out that you really should use russets on this recipe, and sure enough, I think Yukon Golds were too waxy to get a good crust. That said, it's a really neat approach - potato cylinders are fried on one side to make a crust, and then braised in stock to complete cooking and add flavor. (I also suspect that the second side should get a longer fry than I gave it - but that's the side that's going to be in the braising liquid so I don't know if it matters.) It's more effort than just baking up some home fries, but I'm interested enough to try it again. |
| From: All Recipes (reviewed 21st September 2014)Why have I not seen these before? They should be a staple of appetizer menus! Well, it says they're an appetizer, but we put them on sub rolls with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and remoulade for a vegetarian po' boy sandwich. (The brine of the artichokes, and their texture, is somewhat reminiscent of a fried oyster.)
I used panko bread crumbs, which didn't stick as well as I'd like - next time, either a finer crumb or I'll look into the battered recipes. I also only used enough oil to come about half-way up an artichoke heart. The timing stayed consistent, it was just 2-3 minutes per side. |
