Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh artichokes
- 2 whole Lemon
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
Instructions
Prepare the artichokes by cutting off the top inch of each artichoke. Trim the stem and peel away the tough outer layers of leaves until you reach the tender inner leaves.
Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise and remove the fuzzy choke using a spoon. Rub the cut sides with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the artichoke halves cut side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Flip the artichokes and add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring the garlic so it doesn’t burn.
Pour in the chicken broth (or vegetable broth) and the juice of 1 lemon. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the artichokes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the lid and let the liquid reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the juice of the second lemon and season with salt and black pepper.
Drizzle the lemon garlic sauce over the sautéed artichokes and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or light meal.
