3Globe artichokes or artichokes
Toum or 3 garlic cloves
a pinchSalt
few slicesOrganic lemon
Extra virgin olive oil
Herbs of your choice
Instructions
Clean your artichokes:
Prepare a bowl full of cold water and a piece of lemon, set aside.
Using a serrated knife: cut the stem leaving about 2 cm, then cut about 2 cm off of the top of the artichoke.
Peel away the fibrous outer skin of the remaining stem.
Cut your artichoke in half and remove the inner fuzzy center. Place the artichoke into the bowl full of water with lemon.
Repeat the process with the other 2 artichokes.
In the meantime preheat your oven at 200°C (400°F).
To bake the artichokes:
Place your artichokes halves into a greased baking tray (possibly quite deep).
Brush each half with toum*, sprinkle some salt and place a small slice of lemon into the central cavity. Bake for 10 minutes.*if you don't have toum, place half of a garlic clove into each cavity and brush the artichokes with extra virgin olive oil.
After 10 minutes, add some water to the baking tray and cover it with aluminum foil, bake for about 45/55 minutes or until you can pierce the steam easily with a knife.
Serve with some fresh herbs (I used rosemary, sage and basil) on top.
