Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 baby artichokes (about 1 pound)
2 lemons, halved
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, whole
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Parmesan, for shaving

Steps:

  • Pare artichoke bases flat, and remove tough outer leaves, leaving pale-green edible ones. Trim tops off. Rub cut surfaces with lemon half. Work quickly; do not soak in water.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil and garlic in saute pan over medium-high heat. Brown artichokes cooking on all sides 2 to 3 minutes. If garlic gets too brown, discard. Stand artichokes on bottoms; cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until tender.
  • Leave pan with oil on stove; transfer artichokes to paper towel to drain upside down until slightly cool. Spread leaves like a flower (scrape out fuzzy choke with melon baller).
  • Season artichokes with salt and pepper; add 3 tablespoons oil to pan; when hot, add enough artichokes to fit comfortably without overlapping, bases facing up. Cook over medium-high heat, pressing leaves down, until brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Keep warm while cooking second batch. Blot well.
  • Salt lightly, and serve hot with shaved Parmesan and lemon wedges.

ROMAN-STYLE ARTICHOKES



Roman-Style Artichokes image

Artichokes are bathed in olive oil, white wine, red-pepper-flakes, garlic, and fresh herbs and braised until tender in this classic Roman dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lemon
6 artichokes (8 to 10 ounces each)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons minced garlic (from about 5 cloves)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve lemon and squeeze juice into a large bowl of cold water; add squeezed lemon halves to bowl. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, peel tough outer leaves and trim 1 inch from top. Trim fibrous green skin from heart and stem. Halve each artichoke lengthwise, scrape fuzzy choke from heart with a spoon, and transfer to lemon water.
  • Drain artichokes and place, cut side up, in a wide, shallow ovenproof pot. Pour wine, oil, and water over artichokes and sprinkle with salt, red-pepper flakes, garlic, and herbs. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to oven, and braise until artichokes are tender, about 45 minutes. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with red-pepper flakes, and serve with pan juices.

Tips:

  • Selecting Artichokes: Choose artichokes that are heavy for their size, with tightly closed leaves and no signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Preparing Artichokes: Trim the stem and remove the tough outer leaves until you reach the tender, pale green leaves. Cut off the top 1/3 of the artichoke, including the sharp thorns.
  • Cleaning Artichokes: Soak the artichokes in a mixture of water and lemon juice or vinegar to prevent them from discoloring.
  • Cooking Artichokes: Steam or boil the artichokes in salted water until the leaves are tender when pierced with a fork. Alternatively, you can roast them in the oven with olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
  • Eating Artichokes: Pull off the leaves one by one, dip the fleshy end in melted butter, mayonnaise, or your favorite dipping sauce, and scrape the tender flesh with your teeth.

Conclusion:

Roman-style artichokes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. With their tender leaves and flavorful stuffing, they are a treat for both the palate and the eyes. Whether you choose to steam, boil, or roast them, artichokes are a healthy and satisfying addition to any meal.
