Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Fresh artichokes
- 1 Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Prepare the artichokes by trimming about 1/3rd from the top, cutting off the stem, and removing the tough outer leaves. Use kitchen scissors to trim the tips of the remaining leaves.
Slice the artichokes vertically through the middle to expose the choke. Use a spoon to scrape out the fuzzy choke from the center.
Rub the cut sides of the artichokes with a lemon half to prevent browning.
Boil 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Place the artichoke halves in the water and simmer for 10 minutes to soften them slightly. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the artichoke halves, cut side down, to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, pressing lightly to sear the cut sides, until golden brown.
Turn the artichokes and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the artichokes, give them a final toss in the skillet, and serve hot.
