Rep Power: 2 | Description:
Found some nice fresh artichokes with longish stems and had some orecchiette, so I put this together.
PS - It looks more involved than it is, because of the detail in prepping the artichokes
| | Other: | Ingredients: | | Time: 27 minutes Difficulty: medium Serving Size: 2 | - 4 Fresh artichokes
- 1 clove garlic - sliced
- 1 - 2 C chicken broth
- 1/4 C Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 C chopped parsley
- 1 lemon - halved
- 8 oz of orecchiette
- 1/4 C freshly grated pecorino
| | Preparation: | - Fill a large bowl with water and squeeze each lemon 1/2 into the water - add the squeezed lemon skin and pulp to the water too
- Trim the artichokes of the pointy leaves
- Trim the brown end of the edge of the stem
- Cut the leafy end of the artichoke in half by cutting across the leaves
- Trim the fibrous outside layer from the stem
- Cut the artichoke in half, the long way so you have 1/2 the stem and 1/2 the leaves on each 1/2.
- Cut out the choke fibers and remove all of the remaining leaves. You should have 2 artichokes where each 1/2 looks like a pedestal, cut in 1/2
- Immediately submerge in lemon water
- In a large pot, bring 4 qt of water to a boil
| | Instructions: | - In a 12" frying pan, add olive oil and garlic and bring to medium heat
- Meanwhile, retrieve the 8 artichoke halves and slice them (the long way), very thinly
- Add the pieces to the oil and sauté and toss the artichokes to coat them with the flavored oil and lightly season with salt - about 2 or 3 minutes
- Add 1 C of chicken broth, enough to almost cover the artichokes.
- Bring the mixture to a medium simmer
- Add the orecchiette to the boiling water along with a handful of salt
- Cook according to directions (about 10 to 13 minutes)
- That how long it should take to get the artichoke slices to get softened
- When the orecchiette are just al dente, add them to the frying pan, toss through, turn off the heat, add the parsley, grated pecorino and serve.
