Braised Artichokes With Pecorino (Carciofi Al Tegame)
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
This is a very tasty way to eat young artichokes! Thin sliced, slowly braised in a skillet in their own juices and served with a shower of soft pecoriono. This method is simple, and will yield delicious results even with larger, more mature artichokes. This makes a wonderful vegetarian sandwich or for the carnivore, a topping for a juicy hamburger. Artichokes prepared this way are also a great appetizer topped with a poached egg. Lidia Bastianich from Lidia's Italy. We are serving this as a side for one of the seders this Passover 2009.

ingredients
- 2 lbs small artichokes
- 1 lemon for acidulated water
- 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 1⁄2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon spicy chili pepper flakes (peperoncini flakes)
- 1 cup shredded pecorino cheese (6 to 8 months old) or 1 cup mild cheddar cheese
directions
- Trim the artichokes, slice very thinly, and soak the slices in acidulated water.(water with lemon juice and then place lemon in water).
- Pour the olive oil into the skillet, and set it over medium heat.
- Scatter the garlic and onion in the pan.
- Cook for 4 minutes or so, stirring and tossing occasionally; season with the salt and peperoncino.
- When the vegetables are sizzling and wilting, lift the artichoke slices from the acidulated water, drain briefly, and drop them into the skillet.
- Stir well, cover the pan tightly, and let everything cook slowly, giving the pan a shake now and then.
- After 10 minutes, the artichoke slices should be softening - if they're hard and the pan is dry, add a couple spoonfuls of acidulated water and continue cooking covered.
- Braise for 15 or 20 minutes total, until the artichokes are tender and lightly colored.
- Cook uncovered for more caramelization if you like.
- Turn off the heat, and spread the artichokes out in the skillet bottom.
- Scatter the shredded cheese evenly on top, and cover the pan.
- Let it melt into the vegetables for several minutes before serving.
