description
A traditional Roman dish, but it is an excellent fast and very light side dish. The traditional ones are soooo more oily, but I assure you that they won't taste good
preparation
step 1
Clean the artichokes by rose and also clean the stems, because they are very good. Put them in water and lemon. Chop the garlic, mint and parsley and season with pepper and salt to taste
step 2
Open the center of the artichoke, and fill it with the chopped parsley. Repeat this for each artichoke. Season the outside of the artichoke with salt and pepper and place a teaspoon of oil in the center where the parsley has been placed.
step 3
Turn the artichoke upside down and put it in a large high pot, repeat for each artichoke. Adjust a little more salt and add two tablespoons of oil. Water about a glass must reach a finger under the stem of the stem as in the picture
step 4
Put two sheets of paper towel better in straw paper on top of the pot and cover with the lid. This will ensure that no steam comes out
step 5
Put the first 5 minutes on a high heat. Then lower to the minimum for 15 minutes. At this point open the lid remove the paper and sink the fork into the artichoke that enters without problems are cooked
step 6
If they are still hard, continue for another 5/10 minutes.
