Ingredients
2 servings
- 4 cups water
- juice of one lemon
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and minced
- 6 fresh artichokes
- radicchio or variegated arugula
- vinaigrette dressing or butter dip
Preparation
Pour the water into a large saucepan and put in place a basket or standing strainer/sieve.
Add lemon juice and garlic to the water. Cut the stems off the chokes and with scissors or a sharp knife cut the upper part of the leaves straight across (they tend to be spiny and prickly, so it's best to remove them before cooking or eating), leaving a flat top.
Place the artichokes in the strainer, partially cover the pot, and cook for about 30–35 minutes at a medium-to-high heat. (Do not overcook, or they become mushy.)
Remove from pot and arrange on a large platter surrounded by radicchio or variegated arugula.
Serve with a vinaigrette dressing or a warm butter dip
