Tips:

  • Choose the right artichokes: Select firm, plump Jerusalem artichokes that are about 2-3 inches in diameter. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Scrub the artichokes thoroughly: Use a vegetable brush to scrub the artichokes under cold running water. This will help remove any dirt or debris.
  • Trim the artichokes: Cut off the stem and about 1 inch of the top of each artichoke. Then, use a sharp knife to peel away the tough outer layer of each artichoke.
  • Slice the artichokes: Cut each artichoke into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Soak the artichokes in water: Place the artichoke slices in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes. This will help prevent them from browning.
  • Make the sage butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until they are fragrant and crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove the sage leaves from the butter and set aside.
  • Pan-fry the artichokes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the artichoke slices and pat them dry. Add the artichoke slices to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the sage butter and lemon juice: Stir in the sage butter and lemon juice. Cook for an additional minute, or until the artichokes are heated through.
