Best Sautéed Baby Artichokes With Garlic And Olive Oil Recipes

SAUTEED BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Using a sharp paring knife, trim the outermost layer of leaves from each artichoke. Trim stems, and cut off top half of each artichoke. As you trim them, place them in a medium bowl; add lemon juice, and toss to coat.
• Transfer artichokes to a medium nonreactive saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover artichokes by 1 inch. Using a small heat-proof plate, weigh down the artichokes to keep them submerged. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer artichokes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain.
• Cut artichokes in half lengthwise. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add artichokes in a single layer, and cook until hot, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute longer. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

ARTICHOKES IN A GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add seashell pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• Heat the olive oil and melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Mix in the garlic, basil, and artichoke hearts, and cook 5 minutes, until heated through. Toss with the cooked pasta to serve.

GARLIC SAUTEED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Rinse artichokes under cold water, and use a sharp knife to cut the top 1/3 off of each one. Trim the stems to about 1 inch, and remove the smaller leaves from around the base. Use scissors to remove any remaining leaf tips. Cut each artichoke in half from the bottom to the top, then use a spoon to scrape out the hairy choke. Rinse again to remove any residual hairs.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and saute for about 1 minute to flavor the butter. Arrange artichoke halves cut-side down in the skillet. Saute for about 5 or 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Reduce heat to low, and pour in about 1/4 cup of water, cover, and let steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender. A fork should easily pierce the stem.

ARTICHOKE HEARTS WITH GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and 1 tablespoon parsley; stir 30 seconds. Add artichokes and stir to coat. Cover skillet; simmer until artichokes are tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover; simmer until juices thicken and coat artichokes, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.

SAUTEED BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Bend the outer leaves of the artichokes back until they snap off close to the base and remove several more layers of leaves in the same manner until the white inner leaves are reached. Trim the tips and quarter the artichokes. In a small bowl toss the artichokes with the flour and salt and black pepper to taste. In a skillet heat the oil with the garlic over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking and cook the garlic until it is softened. Add the artichokes and sauté them over moderately high heat, stirring, for 6 minutes. Stir in the rosemary, the oregano, the basil, and the lemon juice and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine, the red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste and simmer the mixture, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the artichokes are very tender. Add the parsley and boil the mixture, uncovered, over high heat for 1 minute, or until it is thickened slightly.

Steps:

• Snap off outer leaves of artichokes, as far as they will snap, leaving only white leaves. Trim stems, and cut off thorny tops about 3/4 of an inch down. Cut in halves or quarters, depending on artichokes' size. Hold in a bowl of cold water with juice of a lemon.
• Add olive oil to an 8-inch skillet. Dry artichokes. Heat oil, and add garlic and artichokes, sautéing over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until fork tender. Sprinkle with parsley, and season with coarse salt and pepper. Serve as an hors d'oeuvre with toothpicks, or as a vegetable.
