Ingredients:

Serving

2 whole artichokes
salt
bay leaf
1 lemon, halved
1/2 tsp liquid crab boil
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
salt
cayenne
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/2 lb fresh crabmeat , picked for cartilage
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tsp baking powder
3 1/4 cups of flour
dash of worcestershire sauce
dash of crystal hot sauce
1 tbsp chopped parsley
solid vegetable shortening for deep frying
creole seasoning (essence ), recipe follows
2 cups remoulade , recipe follows
1 egg
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 tbsp prepared horseradish
3 tbsp creole or whole grain mustard
3 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
3 tbsp ketchup
3 tbsp chopped parsley
salt
cayenne pepper
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup olive oil
2 1/2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp dried leaf oregano
1 tbsp dried thyme

Directions:

Trim off the stems and thorny tips of the artichoke. Put them in a deep pot and cover with water. Add salt, bay leaf, lemon halves, and crab boil. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium heat and simmer until tender. Remove and drain. Cool slightly and remove the fuzzy choke from the center. Remove the leaves to expose the heart. Slice thinly and set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions. Season with salt and cayenne. Saute the onions until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the thinly sliced artichokes and the garlic. Season with salt and cayenne. Saute for 1 minute. Add the crabmeat and saute for another minute. Remove and set aside to cool. Make a batter by combining the eggs, milk, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Add the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, beating and incorporating until all of the flour is used and the batter is smooth. Season with salt, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Mix well. Stir in the parsley. Add the artichoke and crab mixture to the batter and fold to mix. Heat the shortening to 360 degrees F. Drop the batter, a heaping tablespoon at a time, into the hot oil. When the beignets pop to the surface, roll them around with a slotted spoon in the oil to brown them evenly. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle the beignets with Creole seasoning. Serve with the Remoulade.
Remoulade:
Combine the first 10 ingredients in a food processor with a metal blade and process until smooth. Season with salt, cayenne and pepper. While the machine is running, slowly add the oil, a little at a time, until thick. Re-season if necessary. Yield: about 2 cups
*RAW EGG WARNING
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Yield: about 2/3 cup
