Quick Braised Artichokes
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut each artichoke lengthwise into quarters through the stem.
- Using a spoon, remove the fuzzy choke from the heart of each quarter, and immediately squeeze the juice from one of the lemon halves over all artichokes to prevent them from discoloring.
- Place all the ingredients, including the remaining lemon half, in a large saucepan; fill with enough cold water to cover the artichokes.
- Cover the pan, and bring the water to a simmer over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; cook just until the artichoke hearts can be pierced with a fork but are not too soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and let the artichokes sit in the cooking liquid until ready to serve, up to 10 minutes.
- Transfer carefully to serving plates with a slotted spoon, allowing excess liquid to drain off.
