Preparation

Step 1

Make a batch of your favourite artichoke dip. Be sure to chill it overnight. This stuff needs to be firm!

Organize a breading station of flour (about 1 cup), 1 beaten egg (maybe 2 if you have lots of dip) and about 2 cups of Panko crumbs. Use Panko only, as it makes a great crumb for frying. Roll artichoke dip into small, walnut size balls, then dip into flour, then egg, then Panko. Set on a cutting board or cookie sheet once done. Heat a couple of inches of canola oil in a skillet or shallow pot over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, (it will sizzle around a bit of bread dropped in), drop the balls in a few at a time - I had about 8 in the first batch. Don't overcrowd the pot, or your oil will cool down quickly and you don't want that. Cook until golden on one side, then flip and do the same for the other side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve on a cute platter and pop them while warm!
