Watch: The Jewish Roots of Rome’s Iconic Fried Artichoke Dish | Eater

"Located in Rome’s old Jewish Ghetto near the Tiber River, this kosher restaurant specializes in Roman dishes adapted to Jewish dietary rules and highlights the neighborhood’s culinary history. Many city classics originated here during centuries of hardship beginning in the 1500s, when cooks relied on simple frying techniques and seasonal produce instead of spices. The fried artichokes — carciofi alla Giudia — are a standout: golden brown and crispy on the outside yet moist and tender within, a perfect example of fresh, seasonal Roman eating." - Eater Video
