Pan Roasted Artichokes
10 baby artichokes
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
Olive oil
1 lemon
Salt and pepper
Clean the artichokes by removing the outer leaves until you reach the yellow light green part of the artichoke. Cut the top part of the leaves (about 3/4 inch), trim about 1/4 inch of the stem and peel the stem. Cut the artichoke in half and place them in a bowl of water in which you have squeezed the juice of one lemon. Clean all your artichokes and keep them in water for about 10 minutes.
Put a very light coat of olive oil in a cast iron pan and let it get very hot. Coat each piece of artichoke with a very thin film of olive oil and put them in the pan facing down. Cook them for about 5-6 mins. or until they begin to turn brown. Turn them over and cook them for another about 7-8 minutes.
Put all the artichokes in a platter facing up. In a little bowl, put 5 tablespoons of olive oil and add the garlic and parsley. Mix well and with a teaspoon spread over each artichoke. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
