Baked artichokes
Baked artichokes
Ingredients
10 small fresh
artichokes, preferably young
¼ cup olive oil (use
half for cooking, the other half for baking)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F
(180°C).
Place the artichokes on a
sturdy work surface. Take the artichoke stem in one hand and cut off the top
half of the artichoke.
If it’s there, scrape out
the hairy choke at the center of the leaves with a small spoon.
Turn the artichoke around
and cut the stem off. Remove the hard leaves at the bottom until only soft
leaves remain.
Place the artichokes in a
pot and add enough water to cover. Add a little olive oil and season with salt
and pepper.
Bring to a boil. Cook for
15 to 20 minutes, until a leaf can be easily pulled out.
Drain the artichokes and
place them upright in a baking dish.
Drizzle with olive oil
and season with salt and pepper.
Bake for about 15 minutes
until the bottoms of the artichokes are fork-tender, then serve.
