Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 globe artichokes
  • 60ml (4 tbsp) olive oil
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 125ml (½ cup) parsley, washed and finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
  • First, clean the artichokes by cutting off their stems. Peel off the tough outer layers. When you reach the softer layers, use a serrated knife to cut off about 3/4 inches from the top. Cut artichoke in half lengthwise. Then, using a sharp paring knife, remove all the “hairs” on the inside.
  • Mix the artichoke halves in a bowl with the oil, lemon juice, parsley and plenty of salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the hearts on a lined baking sheet and cook for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Flip them around and cook for another 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
  • Serve immediately as part of a Mediterranean meal.
