Preparation

Step 1

Grate the artichokes into a mixing bowl. Add green onion, red pepper, flour, salt and spices and toss to mix. Stir in eggs and mix well.

Heat the oil until the surface ripples in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop the batter by tablespoons into the skillet and flatten with a spatula. Fry until the batter is crisp and brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels while repeating with the remaining batter. Serve hot.
