Makes: 4  servings
Prep:   20 mins 
Cook:   25 mins 
 
Ingredients
  • 3 large or 4 small artichokes, quartered
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried mint
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1 teaspoon minced lemon peel

Directions

1. Remove outer leaves of the artichokes and trim stems to 1 inch, then peel stems with a small, sharp knife. Slice off top half of artichokes and cut out the fuzzy choke centers.

2. Arrange artichokes in a single layer in a medium skillet. Drizzle with the water and oil. Combine the parsley, garlic, salt, and dried mint in a cup and sprinkle evenly over artichokes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Uncover and continue to cook until all but 2 tablespoons of liquid is evaporated.

3. Transfer artichokes and liquid to a serving dish. Combine the fresh mint and lemon peel in a cup and sprinkle on top. Makes 4 servings.
