Braised Artichokes with Thyme

Braised Artichokes with Thyme

Most of the time, when cooking with real, fresh, artichokes, we tend to either boil or steam them. That’s all fine and good, but for a richer, more intense flavor, check out this great recipe for braised chokes. To die for!

Braised Artichokes with Thyme

Ingredients:


• 6 Medium artichokes
• 18 Fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 8 Fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 Head garlic, cloves separated but unpeeled
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 Cup dry white wine
• Parmesan Cheese to garnish (optional)

Instructions:


1. Prepare artichokes. Cut the top off and pull the center open gently. Remove choke and sharp leaves with a spoon. If the artichoke has a stem, trim 1/4 inch of it, but keep it attached. Peel the stem. Transfer to a large bowl filled with cold water.


2. Transfer artichokes to work surface, and place 3 sprigs of parsley in each. In a large pot over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add artichokes, thyme, garlic, 1/4 cup water, and salt and pepper. Cover. Let cook for about 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until artichokes are tender and lightly browned.


3. Transfer to serving platter. Add wine and 1/2 cup of water to the pot. Turn heat to high, bring to a boil and scrape up brown bits from artichokes. Let boil for about 1 minute. Transfer water to a bowl and stir in remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Squeeze the pulp of three garlic cloves into sauce, mashing with a fork. Drizzle sauce over artichokes. Remove peels from remaining garlic cloves. Serve with crusty bread and garlic.
