Artichoke halves filled with zucchini and pork Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Clean and cut the artichokes in half. Remove the fuzzy choke from the each half.
  • Place the water, celery, carrots, lemon and salt into a medium sized pot and poach them for 15-20 minutes or until tender when pricked with a knife. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium high heat for a few minutes. Add the oil followed by the leeks and the zucchini. Cook for 4 minutes without browning. Add the garlic and cook a further minute. Add the pork and cook while breaking up the meat preventing it from clustering together. Cook until the pork changes color (6-7 minutes). Season and set aside heat another frying on medium high heat, add a bit of olive oil and add the breadcrumbs. Cook for 6-7 minutes while stirring or until lightly toasted. Add the breadcrumbs to the vegetable filling and blend. Drain the artichokes well then fill the cavities with the filling and keep warm.
  • Hollandaise:
  • Place all of the ingredients except the butter in an oversized metal bowl (to allow for brisk whisking). Place the bowl over a double boiler on a medium high heat and whisk briskly until the mixture forms ribbon trails. Turn the heat down to low and start adding 3-4 chunks of butter at a time whisking until dissolved before add the next handful of butter. When all the butter is fully incorporated remove from the heat.
  • Assembly:
  • Place one artichoke heart onto each plate and drizzle a few tablespoons worth of the sauce around the artichoke.
