Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 baby artichokes, cleaned
Vinegar for soaking (optional)
Zest and juice of a lemon
Chunk of Parmesan
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as necessary
Salt and pepper
Chopped fresh parsley or basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare artichokes by trimming stem, cutting off pointed tips and removing tough leaves. Slice thinly with mandoline. As each artichoke is finished, drop slices into a bowl of cold water with about 10 percent vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Slice Parmesan with mandoline, creating as many pieces as you have artichoke slices, and about the same size.
  • Remove artichoke slices from water and dry, then toss with olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Sprinkle with a little salt and a fair amount of pepper, then lay Parmesan on top. Taste and add more olive oil, lemon juice, salt or pepper as needed. Garnish with herbs and lemon zest and serve.
