Ingredients
- 2 artichokes
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- ⅙ tsp salt
Instructions
- Wash the artichoke(s) and trim off the top, and peel the outside of the stem. Using kitchen scissors, cut the top of each leaf to remove the jaggy bits.
- Next, cut it into quarters
- Cut out the center "fuzz" and discard.
- Place the prepared quarters in a pot with about 4 oz of water, 3 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, 3 large cloves, of garlic and sprinkle generously with Kosher or sea salt.
- Simmer over medium heat, occasionally checking to make sure all the water hasn't evaporated. Cook for about 40 minutes, or until a leaf comes out easily and is cooked.
