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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Slice the artichokes vertically through the middle to expose the choke. Use a spoon to scrape out the fuzzy choke from the center.
Step 3
Rub the cut sides of the artichokes with a lemon half to prevent browning.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Turn the artichokes and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side.
Step 8
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the artichokes, give them a final toss in the skillet, and serve hot.
