Roman Style Artichokes

Contributed by: Melinda

A lower-fat version of a traditional roman dish. The fava beans are not traditional but are an excellent compliment to the flavors. Serves 4.

8 large artichokes or use baby artichokes (approximately twice as many)
Juice and zest of 1 meyer lemon
1 cup fresh prepared fava beans
2 cloves garlic, squashed
1/2 cup mixed parsley and mint
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 cup White Wine
1 tsp kosher Salt
Black Pepper
  • Trim stem of artichokes to about 1 inch. Peel off outer leaves until the artichoke begins to taper in again and the leaves appear pale green.
  • Using a paring knife, trim the area where the leaves you have removed were attached to remove tough outer surface.
  • Cut in half from top to bottom and remove the fuzzy center choke. Immerse in acidulated water.
  • In a large skillet or saucepan with a tight fitting lid, heat olive oil with garlic cloves
  • When garlic begins to brown, remove it and discard
  • Remove the artichokes from water and dry them slightly on a towel
  • Add to the heated oil and sauté a few minutes
  • Add salt, pepper, white wine and half the lemon juice to the pan
  • Add all but 3 tbl of the herb mixture to the pan and cover
  • Simmer artichokes about 15 minutes, then add the fava beans if using
  • Continue to cook until artichokes are very tender
  • Remove artichokes and beans to a warm serving platter
  • Increase the heat and reduce the sauce slightly
  • Spoon over the artichokes and top with the lemon zest and 3 tbl reserved herb

    Baby artichokes often do not need much trimming. Remove just the outer leaves and cut them in half to see if they have a large choke - remove if necessary.
