Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 medium artichokes
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
1 cup chicken stock, or more as needed
Salt
freshly ground pepper
Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Cut each of the artichokes in half; remove the toughest outer leaves, use a spoon to remove the choke, and trim the bottom.
  • Put 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. When it melts and foam subsides, add artichokes, cut side down. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add stock (it should come about halfway up the sides of the artichokes), bring to a boil, and cover; turn heat to medium-low. Cook for about 20 minutes or until tender, checking every 5 or 10 minutes to make sure there is enough liquid in the pan, adding more stock as necessary. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and transfer artichokes to serving platter.
  • Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a sauce. Stir in lemon zest and juice and remaining tablespoon butter; taste and adjust seasoning. Serve artichokes drizzled with sauce.

Not impressed. The artichokes were tough and the sauce was bland. I think I'll stick to my old recipe.

Delicious! The artichokes were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and rich. I served them as a side dish with grilled fish and it was a hit.

Not bad! The artichokes were cooked well, but the sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Not bad! The artichokes were cooked well, but the sauce lacked a bit of flavor. I added some extra herbs and spices to taste and it was much better.

The artichokes turned out a bit too mushy for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try reducing the cooking time next time.

Braised artichokes turned out amazing! The artichokes were tender and flavorful, and the cooking process was simple. I also added some lemon zest and garlic to the braising liquid for an extra pop of flavor.
