Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 baby artichokes
1 lemon
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons Italian parsley
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Snap off outer leaves of artichokes, as far as they will snap, leaving only white leaves. Trim stems, and cut off thorny tops about 3/4 of an inch down. Cut in halves or quarters, depending on artichokes' size. Hold in a bowl of cold water with juice of a lemon.
  • Add olive oil to an 8-inch skillet. Dry artichokes. Heat oil, and add garlic and artichokes, sautéing over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until fork tender. Sprinkle with parsley, and season with coarse salt and pepper. Serve as an hors d'oeuvre with toothpicks, or as a vegetable.
