Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh artichokes
- 1 whole Lemon
- 120 ml Olive oil
- 60 ml White wine vinegar
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the artichokes. Cut off the tough, lower stems, and remove the outer layers of leaves that are fibrous.
Step 2
Trim about 1 inch from the top of the artichokes and use scissors to snip off the spiky tips of the remaining leaves.
Step 3
Rub the cut surfaces with the lemon to prevent browning, and set the lemon aside for later use.
Step 4
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the artichokes and boil them for about 25-30 minutes, until the leaves can be easily removed.
Step 5
While the artichokes are boiling, prepare the marinade. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and rosemary.
Step 6
Once the artichokes are cooked, remove them from the water and let them cool slightly until comfortable to handle.
Step 7
Gently pull away the leaves and remove the 'choke,' the fuzzy center above the heart, with a spoon. Discard the choke.
Step 8
Cut each artichoke heart into quarters and add them to the marinade bowl.
Step 9
Squeeze the juice from the reserved lemon over the artichokes and marinade, then season with salt and black pepper.
Step 10
Mix everything well to ensure the artichoke hearts are fully coated in the marinade.
Step 11
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Step 12
Before serving, taste and adjust any seasoning if necessary. Serve cold or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
