| Carciofi Alla Giudea recipe |
Carciofi Alla Giudea, which literally translated from the Roman dialect, means ‘Jewish-style artichokes’ is an ‘antipasto’ (starter) that originates from the Roman Ghetto; a Jewish ghetto that was established in 1555.
This dish is a must when visiting Rome, one of Celebrity Cruises destinations. A visit to the Jewish Quarter, where once stood the ghetto, full of small restaurants and taverns you can taste this Jewish-Roman dish. In the Spring, the local community in the region of Lazio celebrate this vegetable with artichokes festivals.
This classic dish is very simple to prepare, but this method of preparation can enhance the aroma and flavor of this vegetable. The artichokes are quickly fried to so that they become crispy and nutty while the tasty artichoke hearts become tender and earthy. This is a favorite local dish during the spring months when the local artichokes from the north-west coastal region of Lazio are in season. Artichokes are a typical ‘contorni’ (vegetable and salads) of the Lazio cuisine, especially the city of Rome, where this dish was invented.

Artichoke is delicious I was given fresh ones once and it was divine. I have not had them in such a long time.
I'd definitely be willing to try this. I'm really interested to see how this tastes paired with some white wine.
Ooh I've never tried artichoke in this way, I've only ever had the hearts which usually come pickled I think xxx
This looks yummy. I bet it was too x
I love artichokes but I have to say I don't think I have had them this way before, definitely a must try! X
I love artichokes, in any way!! Alla Giudea, I havent had in ages – great photos. They are a nightmare to clean.. and when I tried a few weeks ago for the first time, I felt so guilty of all these years I asked my mum to cook them for me…!!
You know, I've never tasted artichoke. But this looks lovely, so maybe I should try. I love all kind of vegetables, so can't see why I wouldn't like it.
