 Presentation
An appetizer made with cream, grated Grana Padano DOP cheese, artichokes, carrot, egg, zucchini, potato starch, dry white wine, parsley, extra virgin olive oil, and salt.

Ingredients
For 4 servings:

• 125 grams of fresh cream
• 90 grams of grated Grana Padano DOP cheese
• 4 artichokes
• 1 peeled carrot
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 zucchini (only the green part)
• Potato starch
• Dry white wine
• Parsley
• Peanut oil
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt

Method

1. Cut the carrot and zucchini into thin strips.
2. Spread the strips on a tray and sprinkle with salt.
3. Let them release their moisture by keeping the tray inclined for 30 minutes.
4. Clean the artichokes, cut them in half, remove the inner fuzz, and slice them finely.
5. Sauté the artichokes in a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil, a peeled garlic clove, and a pinch of salt.
6. After 1-2 minutes, deglaze with half a glass of dry white wine.
7. Lower the heat, cover, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Then turn off the heat and add a sprig of chopped parsley.
8. Quickly blend the cream, Grana Padano, 2 egg yolks, half of the egg white, and a pinch of salt.
9. Grease 4 small pudding molds (8 cm diameter, 4 cm height).
10. Distribute the mixture into the molds.
11. Steam them for 16-20 minutes.
12. Drain the carrot and zucchini strips, dry them, coat them with potato starch, sift to remove excess starch, and fry them in plenty of peanut oil at 170-180°C until golden brown.
13. Drain the fried vegetables on kitchen paper.
14. Arrange the artichokes on a serving platter.
15. Unmold the puddings and place them on top of the artichokes.
16. Serve with the fried vegetables, lightly salted.
