Artichokes with Spicy Dip

Ingredients

• 4 artichokes
• 1 untreated lemon
• 6 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• Salt
• Pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tsp chopped parsley

Instructions

1. 1.

   Trim the tips and stems of the artichokes. Rub the cut surfaces with a lemon half immediately to prevent darkening. Cook the artichokes in a large pot of boiling water with a lemon half for about 30 minutes, simmering gently until the leaves can be pulled apart easily.

2. 2.

   Whisk together oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper; peel and press the garlic into the mixture, then stir in parsley and taste. Drain the artichokes well, arrange on plates, and serve with the vinaigrette.
