- Pecorino Romano(optional) — Grated, optional
Method
- Clean the artichokes: remove the outer dark leaves until the inner part is light green. Trim the stems, keeping most of them. Use a knife or peeler to remove the tough outer layer.
- Briefly immerse the cleaned artichokes in cold water with lemon juice or vinegar and parsley stems to prevent oxidation.
- In a large pan, heat abundant extra virgin olive oil. Add crushed garlic cloves and parsley stems.
- Once the oil is hot, place the artichokes in the pan tightly together, upright.
- Add white wine, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat.
- Cover the pan with parchment paper (carta paglia) to allow steam to escape, and cook for about 30-40 minutes.
- After cooking, remove the artichokes. Take the stems and some of the cooking liquid from the pan, and blend them into a creamy sauce.
- To serve: spread the sauce on a plate, place an artichoke on top, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and optionally sprinkle with grated pecorino cheese.
