This recipe is simple to prepare but yields impressive results, making it perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by trimming the artichokes. Remove the outer tough leaves until you reach the tender, pale green ones.
- Cut off the top 1/3 of each artichoke to remove the thorny tips.
- Trim the stem, leaving about 1 inch.
- Slice the artichokes in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke and any small, spiky inner leaves.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the artichoke halves and boil for about 8-10 minutes until they are just tender but not falling apart.
- Drain and pat the artichokes dry with paper towels.
- While the artichokes are boiling, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
- Place the artichoke halves, cut side down, in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to brown and develop a crispy edge.
- Flip the artichokes over and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Transfer the sautéed artichokes to a serving plate.
- Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the top of the artichokes.
- Optionally, season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Tips:
- When selecting your artichokes, choose ones that are firm and heavy for their size, with tightly packed leaves.
- To prevent the cut surfaces of the artichokes from browning, you can rub them with a lemon half or submerge them in water with lemon juice while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
- Make sure to remove the tough outer leaves and trim the thorny tips for a more pleasant eating experience.
- Don’t sauté the garlic for too long before adding the artichokes as it can become bitter if overcooked.
