Roman-style Artichokes Directions
- Prepare a bowl of acidulated water. Squeeze the juice of both lemons into a large bowl filled with 2-3 quarts of cold water. Throw the lemon rinds in the bowl.
- Slice the artichokes in half, lengthwise. Place them in the bowl of acidulated water, and take them out one at a time to prepare, returning them to the bowl as you finish. Trim each artichoke of its coarse outer leaves and slice out the fuzzy choke.
- In a small bowl, combine the parsley, mint, garlic, salt, and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. In the cavity of each artichoke half, where the choke was, place 1 teaspoon of the herb mixture. Arrange the artichokes in a deep sauté pan in which they fit snugly. Add the wine, boiling water, the last 3/4 cup of olive oil, and a sprinkling of salt. Cover and simmer on the stove for 20-25 minutes.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
