The
heart of the artichoke is the best part, and has a sweet, juicy and meaty
flavour. This recipe is simple and enhances the flavour of the artichoke.
8 artichokes
4 tablespoons parsley
1 tablespoon mint
2 cloves garlic
1 lemon
100 ml olive oil
Salt and pepper to season
Method
Trim the artichoke stalks to 5 cm long and remove the tough
outer leaves. Boil until soft for
approximately 30 minutes, until a skewer easily goes through them. Immerse the artichokes in a bowl of cold
water and lemon juice (to retain their colour).
Chop the herbs (parsley, mint and garlic) and add the oil
and seasoning. Slice the artichokes in half to make a pocket and stuff with
some of the mixture.
Place in a saucepan with stalks pointing upwards. Pour the rest of the mixture around the artichokes
and add a little water and lemon juice so the stalks are just covered.
Heat the artichokes by simmering gently until the water has
evaporated.
