    Ingredients
      

    • 5 artichokes
    • 1 lemon
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 clove garlic
    • 6 leaves mint
    • ⅓ cup dry white wine or vegetable broth
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 twists pepper
    • 1 handful flat-leaf parsley

    Instructions
     

    Clean artichokes

    • Fill up a bowl with cold water, then cut open a lemon and add it to the bowl, squeezing its juice in the water.
    • Now start cleaning the artichokes. First, remove the harder and woodier outer leaves of the artichoke with your hands. You need to remove leaves until you reach softer non-woody leaves.TIP: before touching the artichokes, brush your hands with lemon. If you don't, your hands will turn dark.
    • Then, with a paring knife, cut off half of the stem, then remove its outer, woodier part. 
    • Now cut off the thorns, the top part of the artichoke. 
    • Now cut the artichoke in 4 pieces, then with a small knife remove the choke, then put the artichokes in the bowl with cold lemon water.

    Cook the artichokes

    • To a non-stick pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil, a crushed clove of garlic, some mint leaves with their stems, and toss in the artichokes.
      Sauté on medium heat for about 3 minutes, then when the pan is hot add ¼ cup of dry white wine. You can use vegetable broth if you prefer not to cook with wine.
    • Simmer without a lid for about 5 minutes, then the wine has evaporated completely, add a cup of water, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
      Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender.
    • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve as a starter, on bruschetta, as a side dish, or in a frittata.
