Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sprigs parsley
4 garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
2 lemons, cut in half
2 TBL olive oil
1 quart (4 cups) chicken broth or water
salt and pepper
2 artichokes

Steps:

  • Put the parsley, garlic, bay leaves, lemons, wine, oil and broth in a large pot and bring to a simmer. Season the liquid wiht salt and pepper. In the meantime prepare the artichokes. Wash artichokes under cold water. Using a heavy stainless steel knife, cut off the stems close to the base. Pull off the lower petal that are small and tough. Cut off the top inch of the artichoke and rub with half a lemon to preserve the green color. Place the artichokes in the steaming liquid, bottom up. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. The artichokes are done when a knife is inserted into the base and there is no resistance. Dip leaves in lemon juice and melted butter if desired. Serve hot or cold.
