Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small artichokes
1 lemon for acidulated water
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, sliced
2 cups chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon peperoncino flakes, or to taste
1 cup shredded pecorino (6 to 8 months old) or mild Cheddar
Recommended Equipment:
A heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan, 12-inch diameter or larger, with a tight-fitting cover

Steps:

  • Trim the artichokes, slice very thinly, and soak the slices in acidulated 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 to 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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my artichokes turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much lemon juice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover artichokes. I always have a few extra artichokes after making a big batch of artichoke dip, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

This recipe was a disaster! The artichokes were tough and the cheese was rubbery. I don't recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and lemon juice to give it more flavor.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit! The artichokes are so tender and flavorful, and the pecorino cheese adds a nice salty tang. I like to serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
