Greek Artichokes

[Guest guest]

This is one of my favorite recipes, the potatoes pick up the flavor

from the 'chokes and are lovely.

 

Greek Stewed Artichokes

 

6-8 tiny artichokes, or 4 large ones

2 lemons

1 T olive oil

1 onion, chopped

4 large carrots, peeled and cut in pieces

1 lb tiny whole onions, peeled

4 large potatoes, cut into 6 pieces

bunch of fresh dill (omit if you cant get fresh)

salt and pepper

Trim the artichokes, cut off the stem and tough outer leaves and the

spikey points on the remaining leaves, cut into quarters, remove the

fuzzy choke, and rub the cut surfaces with a lemon, and put them into

salted water.

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet and saute onions, carrots and

potatoes, til they begin to turn golden. Drain the artichokes and

fit into the pan and arrange the other veggies around them. Squeeze

the lemon into the pan and add enough water to just barely cover the

veggies. Cover and very simmer slowly for an hour or so, until the

artichokes are done.

4-6 servings
