Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided, plus more for garnish

  • 1 (14 ounce) can whole artichoke hearts, rinsed and halved

  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ clove garlic, grated

  • ½ teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)

  • 2 large romaine hearts (1 pound total), chopped

  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place flour in a shallow dish. Lightly beat egg in another shallow dish. Combine panko and 4 tablespoons Parmesan in a third shallow dish. Pat artichokes dry. Toss artichokes in the flour to coat. Dip in the egg, letting excess drip off. Then roll in the panko mixture.

  2. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the artichoke hearts and cook, flipping once, until crispy and golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

  3. Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, anchovy paste, if using, and the remaining 2 tablespoons each oil and Parmesan in a large bowl until combined. Toss romaine with the dressing until coated. Serve with the crispy artichoke hearts and garnish with pepper and more Parmesan, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
