Carciofi alla Romana
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice, from about 2 large lemons
- 6 large artichokes
- ¼ cup mint leaves, finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup dry white wine
Directions
1) Fill a large bowl with cold water and stir in the lemon juice and lemon rinds.
2) Working with one artichoke at a time, trim outer leaves from artichokes and then cut off the top. Scoop out the inner choke with a small spoon. Trim stem and any woody leaves or dark green parts from the artichoke. Place trimmed artichoke in the lemon water before proceeding with the remaining artichokes.
3) In a small bowl, stir together the mint, oregano, garlic, and ½ tsp salt.
4) Combine olive and white wine in a Suvie pan. Remove artichokes from water and divide herb mixture between the inner choke, rubbing into crevices and leaves. Set any extra herbs aside. Place artichokes stem side up in the Suvie pan and season with salt. Insert pan into your Suvie, input settings, and cook now or schedule.
