    Title: Japanese Artichoke Rissoles
    Categories: Vegetarian
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1/2 lb Japanese artichokes
    - (Stachys affinis)
    3/4 c White sauce (2 oz);
    - very thick
    Dry bread crumbs
    1 ts Lemon juice
    1 Whole egg
    1 Egg yolk
    Puffed potatoes

    Parboil the little artichokes, remove the skins, and finish cooking
    them in vegetable stock. When artichokes are quite tender, drain them
    thoroughly and cut them up into small pieces. Have the white sauce
    ready. Beat the egg yolk with lemon juice. Add egg yolk mixture to
    sauce and make sure it has enough seasoning. Mix the artichokes with
    the sauce and spread them out on a flat dish to get cold. Take a
    scant 1 tb of the mixture at a time, and form it on a floured board
    into little balls; dip them into beaten egg, then cover thickly with
    the bread crumbs, and after allowing time for them to dry, fry the
    rissoles in deep, boiling fat. The sauce should be well flavoured
    with vegetables and finished with a little cream if practicable.
    Serve the rissoles round a pyramid of puffed potatoes and garnish
    with fried parsley.

    Puffed Potatoes:

    Peel potatoes and cut lengthwise into thick strips, then into
    dice-shaped squares, and put them into a basin of cold water for
    about 15 minutes, then drain them and dry them thoroughly in a soft
    cloth. Melt sufficient fat or oil in a stew pan to cover the
    potatoes; when it is hot (not boiling) put them in and let them cook
    gently until they are tender; then take them out and make the fat
    boil, testing it with a piece of bread to ascertain when the right
    temperature is reached. Put the potatoes into the boiling fat and fry
    them quickly for a few minutes, when they will puff up and become a
    golden brown; drain them on paper and scatter some chopped parsley
    and salt over them.
