Ricetta: Carciofi alla romana

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil provides healthy fats while being neutral in flavor.

artichokes

💰Cheaper: frozen artichoke hearts

Frozen artichoke hearts are more affordable and convenient.

Prepare artichokes by trimming the stems and removing the outer leaves until tender.

Rub the cut surfaces with lemon to prevent browning.

In a bowl, mix chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and mint.

Stuff the artichokes with the parsley mixture, pressing it firmly inside.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Place the stuffed artichokes upright in the pot.

Add water to cover the bottom of the pot, about an inch deep.

Cover the pot and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the artichokes are tender.

Check occasionally, adding more water if needed to prevent burning.

Once done, remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
