Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add the olive oil and let it heat up for about 1 minute.
- Drain the artichokes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Add the artichoke quarters to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they start to become tender and lightly golden.
- While the artichokes are sautéing, add the flour.
- Stir continuously to coat the artichokes and cook the flour for about 1-2 minutes. This will help thicken the sauce.
- Squeeze the juice from the remaining half of the lemon over the artichokes.
- Sprinkle in the salt and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the artichokes to reach desired tenderness.
- Transfer the sautéed artichokes to a serving dish.
- Optionally, garnish with additional lemon zest or some fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and color.
- Serve hot as a side dish or a light appetizer.
Tips:
- For easier preparation, consider using pre-trimmed or canned artichokes.
- Ensure your artichokes are fresh; they should feel heavy and the leaves should squeak when pressed together.
- Consider wearing gloves when handling raw artichokes to avoid any prickles on your fingers.
- Zest the lemon before juicing to ensure you get the maximum lemon flavor.
- Adjust salt according to your taste preference.
