A Big Bowl Of Artichokes

Recipe Ingredients

1/4 cup	59ml	Fresh lemon juice
8 cups	1896ml	Artichokes (medium)
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Onions - chopped (medium)
4		Carrots - cut into 1/4" dice
4		Garlic cloves - finely minced
2 teaspoons	10ml	Dried thyme
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1/4 cup	59ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup	157ml	White wine
2 cups	474ml	Water
1/4 cup	15g / 0.5oz	Diced seeded ripe plum tomatoes - for garnish
2 tablespoons	30ml	Chopped flat-leaf parsley - for garnish
		Your favorite vinaigrette (optional) - for serving

Recipe Instructions

Place the lemon juice in a large bowl and fill 3/4 full with water.

Clean each artichoke: Cut off the stem and snap off the tough bottom leaves. Cut about 1 1/2 inches off the top. With scissors, snip the tips off the remaining leaves. Place in the lemon water to prevent discoloration; let soak while you clean the other artichokes.

Divide the artichokes, onions, carrots, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, oil, wine and water between 2 large pots.

Bring both pots to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, partially covered, until the artichokes are tender, 40 to 45 minutes, shaking the pots occasionally. If necessary, add a bit more boiling water.

Serve the artichokes in a shallow bowl or deep platter. Spoon the cooked vegetables and some of the cooking liquid over the artichokes. Sprinkle with the diced tomato and parsley, then serve at room temperature with your favorite vinaigrette for dipping, if desired.
