Grandma's Artichokes image

Artichokes unlike others. The smaller the artichoke, the more tender the heart will be.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 whole artichokes, trimmed and coarse outer leaves removed
8 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves torn
½ cup peanut oil

Steps:

  • Trim artichoke stems flat so the artichokes can stand upright and rinse artichokes thoroughly in running water. Hold artichokes upside down over a work surface and smash the artichokes lightly to open the leaves. Spread 1/4 of the garlic into the spaces between leaves of each artichoke.
  • Season artichokes with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese per artichoke, opening the leaves and letting the seasonings and cheese into the leaves. Push torn leaves of parsley into the spaces between the leaves to hold the seasonings in.
  • Set the artichokes upright in a saucepan and pour peanut oil over the artichokes, letting the oil seep into the crevices between leaves. Gently pour water into the saucepan, taking care not to let the water splash on the artichokes and wash off the oil. Cover pan.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until the outer leaves of the artichoke are easy to strip off but are not mushy or falling apart, about 1 hour. Test for salt and season with more if desired; simmer 5 to 10 more minutes to let the salt dissolve.

This recipe is easy to follow and the artichokes turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic to the filling.
