Garlic Sauteed Artichokes Recipes

GARLIC ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Cut off the stems of the artichokes.
• With a sharp knife (I find a serated knife works well) cut off the top 1/3 of the artichoke.
• Immediately rub the cuts with a lemon quarter, squeezing a little juice on the cuts to keep it from turning brown.
• Now cut each artichoke in half through the stem, from the top to the bottom.
• Use a spoon and/or a knife to completely remove the hairy choke and all the prickly purple leaves inside the artichoke.
• Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan.
• Add the garlic and saute over medium low heat to flavor the butter.
• Arrange the artichoke halves cut side down in the pan.
• Saute for about 5 minutes or so, until just lightly browned.
• Add the wine and the seasonings.
• Reduce heat to very low, cover the pan, and let cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• CHECK THE PAN AFTER 9 OR 10 MINUTES TO BE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH LIQUID IN THE PAN TO PREVENT BURNING.
• ADD MORE WINE IF NEEDED.
• Test the doneness of the artichokes by piercing with a fork.
• It should penetrate easily.
• Serve the artichoke halves with the rest of the melted butter in a small dish and flavored with as many dashes of hot sauce as you like.
• Dip the leaves and the delicious heart in the butter and enjoy.

SAUTEED BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Bend the outer leaves of the artichokes back until they snap off close to the base and remove several more layers of leaves in the same manner until the white inner leaves are reached. Trim the tips and quarter the artichokes. In a small bowl toss the artichokes with the flour and salt and black pepper to taste. In a skillet heat the oil with the garlic over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking and cook the garlic until it is softened. Add the artichokes and sauté them over moderately high heat, stirring, for 6 minutes. Stir in the rosemary, the oregano, the basil, and the lemon juice and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine, the red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste and simmer the mixture, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the artichokes are very tender. Add the parsley and boil the mixture, uncovered, over high heat for 1 minute, or until it is thickened slightly.
