Crops from your garden in this recipe: 🌿 Globe artichoke
Ingredients
- 2 large Globe artichokes (grown in the garden)
- 1 Lemon, halved
- 75 g Butter, melted
- 1 Garlic clove, crushed (grown in the garden)
- pinch Salt
Green items are crops you can grow yourself.
Method
- Snap off the tough outer leaves and cut the stalk flush so the artichokes sit flat. Cut the top third off and rub the cut surfaces with lemon.
- Simmer in a large pan of salted, lemony water for 30–40 minutes, weighing them down with a plate, until a leaf pulls out easily.
- Drain upside down for 5 minutes.
- Warm the butter with the garlic and a squeeze of lemon.
- Pull off each leaf, dip the fleshy base in the butter and scrape it off with your teeth. Finish with the heart, discarding the hairy choke first.
