Recipes > Appetizers > Sautéed Baby Artichoke

Ingredients

6 tablespoons of olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
8 garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
6 artichokes, cleaned and cut in quarters (or 1 package of small artichokes)**
1 cup white wine
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (I use Pacific Free range chicken broth)
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped salt and pepper to taste

**Cut the stems off the artichokes and the tips (the hard edges)

Cooking Instructions:

In a wide sauce pan or 12 inch skillet, add olive oil, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and
thyme, cook for 15 minutes over medium high heat stirring every 5 minutes until the onion and
the garlic start to brown.

Increase the heat to high, add the artichokes, and cook stirring well for three to five minutes.

Add the wine and cook for another three to five minutes until reduced by half, stirring well to dislodge the brown bits at the bottom of the pan.

Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. add the parsley stirring well and reduce heat to simmer.

Place the lid on the pan slightly ajar and simmer for 30 - 35 minutes. If still tough keep cooking until easily break apart. I cook them longer till they get tenderer.

Add salt and pepper to taste, serve with plenty of fresh Italian bread to dip in the sauce.
