Carciofi alla giudia
Carciofi alla giudìa is among the best-known dishes of Roman Jewish cuisine. The recipe is essentially a deep-fried artichoke, and originated in the Jewish community of Rome, giudìo being the term for Jew in the Romanesco language. The dish is a speciality of the Roman Ghetto, where it is served by Jewish restaurants in the springtime. It involves a two-step deep-frying technique. First, the artichokes are fried at a low temperature to soften them. Then, after their leaves are spread open, they are fried again at a higher temperature. This process results in artichokes with a golden color and crispy, flower-like leaves.
