Lemon Artichokes and Eggs image

This is a specialty of my mother-in-law's. I've never seen it offered in local Italian restaurants or other homes, but I'm always asked for the recipe when I serve it. It can be served as a great side dish without the eggs as well.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 whole artichokes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
¼ pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Trim artichoke stems, cut away leaves, and remove the fibrous portion at the center of the artichoke, leaving the heart. Slice the hearts.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir artichoke slices and garlic until garlic just begins to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, mint, salt, and black pepper; continue to cook until artichoke slices are tender. Spoon a little water into skillet if juices evaporate.
  • Pour beaten egg into the skillet and scramble gently until egg is set and not runny, 2 or 3 minutes; serve immediately.

I'm allergic to artichokes, but this recipe looks so good that I might have to try it anyway.

This recipe reminds me of my childhood. My grandmother used to make it all the time. I can't wait to try this recipe and see if it tastes as good as hers.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of lemon, artichokes, and eggs seems a bit odd to me.

The artichokes were a bit too tough. I think I'll try cooking them for a little longer next time.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon.

Not a fan of artichokes, but this dish was surprisingly good. The lemon and eggs helped to balance out the artichoke flavor.

This dish was a delightful surprise! The combination of lemon, artichokes, and eggs was unexpected but incredibly delicious. The artichokes were tender and flavorful, while the eggs added a richness and creaminess that balanced out the tangy lemon. I
