Yield: serves: 4-6

Time: 40 minutes

 

4 globe artichokes

2 lemons cut in half

1 cup white wine

4 garlic cloves

2 bay leaves

1 quart low-sodium chicken broth

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Extra-virgin olive oil

 

Put the wine, chicken broth, garlic, bay leaves, lemon, thyme, and oil in a large pot over medium heat and bring to a boil.  Season with salt and pepper.

 

Wash artichokes under cold water. Using a heavy stainless steel knife, cut off the stems close to the base.  Pull off the lower petals that are small and tough.  Place the artichokes in the steaming liquid. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.  The artichokes are done when a knife goes into the base without resistance.  Serve hot or cold with anchovy mayo.

 

ANCHOVY MAYONNAISE:

1 clove of garlic

2 anchovy fillets

1 cup of mayonnaise, store bought

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Combine ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Refrigerate if not serving immediately.

    Nice timing! Our artichoke plant is exploding this season and we need to start to the harvest. Cheers!

    No thyme on the ingredient list, but then it’s mentioned in the first part of the instructions. How much? I wouldn’t want to over or under thyme these beauties. :)

    T,
    Recently, your blog section has just been a collection of recipes. You have a recipes section. If you look at the list of your blog’s “Recent Posts”, all of the posts are recipes. Don’t get me wrong, I love the food, and make your recipes, but would you keep your recipes in the recipes section, and have more “blog” type stuff in the blog section.

    Personally, I tried to do the blog thing, twice, and found it too cumbersome, and have enjoyed the smaller scale of Twitter. I enjoy your Tweets, and have noticed that the scale of Twitter seems to also suit you better, than the blog scale. Best of luck.

    Could you tell me the name of the photographer behind all the gorgeous photos on this blog? I’d love to see more of his/her work! The recipe sounds great, too ;-)
