Number Of Ingredients 12

12 artichokes, fresh
2 -3 carrots, cut in thick slices
3 -4 potatoes, cut in chunks
2 -3 green onions, coarsely chopped (or 1 onion, finely chopped)
3/4 cup olive oil
2 -3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely sliced
3 lemons, juice of
1 tablespoon flour
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 -1 1/2 cup water

Steps:

Clean the artichokes by removing the coarse outer leaves and stem, cutting off the top (down to just above the choke) and scooping out the choke with a spoon.
Trim off remaining leaves around the sides to leave just the pale colored heart.
Rub the artichoke hearts with lemon as soon as each is cleaned and place immediately in a bowl of cold water with half the lemon juice (to prevent them from turning black) and set aside until ready to use.
In a large pot, lightly sauté the onions in the oil until they soften.
Add carrots and potatoes and continue to sauté for a few minutes more. Add the artichoke hearts, dill, celery, salt, and pepper, and stir.
Mix the remaining lemon juice with 1/2 cup of water and flour until smooth, and pour into the pot, stirring until well mixed inches
Add the remaining water to cover the vegetables, and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and cook over low heat for about one hour until potatoes and carrots are done.
Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature, with additional lemon on the side.
