Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh artichokes
- 2 whole Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Dry sherry
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Fill a large bowl with cold water and juice the lemons into it. Reserve the lemon halves.
To prepare the artichokes, remove the tough outer leaves until you reach the tender, light green ones. Trim the top 1 inch and the base, including the stem if tough. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and immediately submerge them in the lemon water to prevent browning.
Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Drain and pat the artichoke halves dry, then season them with salt and black pepper.
Place the artichokes, cut side down, in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and caramelized.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Deglaze the pan by adding the sherry and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off.
Pour in the vegetable broth, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the artichokes are tender when pierced with a knife.
Uncover the skillet, drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and increase the heat to medium-high to reduce any remaining liquid to a glaze, about 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
