Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 dried mild red chile, such as Italian finger hots or red Thai
3 large fennel bulbs, cored, outer layers removed, and cut into 2-by-1/8-inch strips
4 large artichokes, outer leaves removed, head cut into thin slices
4 strips lemon peel
4 sprigs thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large, straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chile and cook until garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add fennel, artichokes, lemon peel, thyme, and wine to skillet; stir to combine. Bring to mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fennel is tender, about 25 minutes. It may be necessary to add water if liquid evaporates too quickly.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer solids to a bowl; set aside. Increase heat to high and reduce liquid by half. Pour reduced liquid over the fennel and artichoke mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
