A traditional Roman dish where whole artichokes are slowly cooked with olive oil, mint, and lemon until tender. The secret lies in the cleaning technique and the use of wet parchment paper to create a steam chamber.
- Difficulty
- medium
Ingredients
5 items- Romanesco Artichokes (Mammole)Firm, tightly closed artichokes of the Romaneschi variety
- Nepitella (Mentuccia)Roman mint (less pungent than common mint)
- Extra Virgin Olive OilGenerous amount
- LemonJuice of half a lemon added to water to prevent browning
- WaterHot water, added to the pan after initial searing
Method
- Choose firm artichokes (Romaneschi variety) with tightly closed leaves.
- Remove the tough outer leaves by pressing at the base with your thumb to anchor the flesh to the heart, then bend the tips outward until the hard part breaks off.
- Using a curved paring knife, cut off the dark green outer layer in a spiral from base to tip.
- Also trim the tips that curl inward to ensure tenderness.
- Use a corer to remove any internal choke (hay).
- Clean the stem by removing the fibrous outer layer.
- Submerge the cleaned artichoke in water with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Generously add extra virgin olive oil and arrange the artichokes upside down, packed tightly together.
- After a few minutes over high heat, add hot water up to the base of the artichokes.
- Cover with wet parchment paper (traditionally baker's paper) to create a steam chamber, and cook until the artichokes are tender from stem to heart, yielding easily to a fork.
