Ingredients

artichokes, globe 1 per person

olive oil

salt

lemon juice

garlic cloves, peeled

Directions

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin off the stem of the artichoke. Then grasping each leaf with your fingers, snap it off and it will break where the toughness begins. Do this all the way around several times until most of the artichoke showing is cream and purple.

Lay it on its side and use a sharp knife to cut off the spiny purple part. Use your fingers to open the flower, and a teaspoon to scrape out the choke that lies on top of the heart.

Cut the stem end off.

Put each one in lemon water as soon as you've finished so they won't oxidize and turn black. When they are all pared, pour some olive oil onto the water bath and bob them up and down so that they all get well oiled.

Take them out and put them upside down for a little while to drain a bit.

Put the artichokes into an oiled flat baking dish and put them into a 165°C or 325°F oven, scattering coarse salt over them. scatter the garlic cloves among them. Start them face down.

Cook about 2o minutes, and turn them over, scattering with a bit more salt. Test for doneness by inserting a cooking fork in the center. It will enter easily when they are done.

They can be eaten as-is or they can be sliced for various recipes.
