Treat Day: Pot-Roasted Artichokes
Description
Whether as a standalone vegetable or a topping for salad, this delectable artichoke recipe is a winner.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat the oil in a heavy pot (wide enough to hold the artichokes with room to spare) over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke.
-
Add the artichokes to the oil, wait a minute, then reduce the heat to medium-low, sprinkle in the garlic and salt, and cook, without stirring, just until the garlic turns golden and smells toasty, about 3 minutes.
-
Pour in the broth, cover the pot and cook, without stirring, at a vigorous simmer, about 5 minutes. Scatter on the capers and cover again for 2 minutes.
-
Uncover, raise the heat to medium-high, and bring the liquid to a boil.
-
Cook until the broth has evaporated (the bubbling sound will become a sizzle), about 5 minutes. Add the mint and keep cooking the artichokes until they reach a deep golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Lower the heat if needed to prevent them from getting too dark.
-
Serve straightaway or at room temperature.
