Artichokes in Sauce

Ingredients

Salt - to taste
Garlic - 2 cloves
Parsley - 2 stems
Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
White bread - 1.8 oz
Artichoke bottoms - 4 lbs
Lemon - 1 piece

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of one half into a large bowl of water. Cut a thin slice from the other half. Trim the stems of the artichokes and remove the tough outer leaves. Trim the tips of the remaining leaves. Cut the artichokes in half or into quarters and remove the choke. Drizzle the artichokes with the juice from the remaining half of the lemon and place them in the lemon water.

Step 2

Once all the artichokes are prepared, drain the water and place them in a pot: deep but not too wide. Add the remaining lemon slice, breadcrumbs, olive oil, finely chopped garlic, and parsley. Pour in enough water to cover the artichokes, add a pinch of salt, and mix well.

Step 3

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover with a lid, and cook for 45 minutes until they are tender. (Try gently pulling off a leaf – it should come off easily). Serve immediately.
