Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Clean the artichokes by removing the outer leaves, leaving only the whitest and most tender parts in the center. Cut the stem to 5 cm from the bottom.
Step 2
Submerge the artichokes in cold water with added lemon to prevent them from browning.
Step 3
Finely chop the parsley and mint. Mince the garlic. Add olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix.
Step 4
Open the leaves of the artichokes, remove the heart, and pour 3/4 of the sauce inside. Carefully close the leaves back. Place the prepared artichokes head down in a deep skillet so they do not tip over while cooking.
Step 5
Pour in the sauce and fill the remaining space in the skillet with water. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 1 hour (until the water evaporates).
Step 6
Artichokes can be served either cold or hot.
