Carciofi - Artichoke
Recipe
Viva Carciofi (if you know.. you know)
Many ways of cooking these throughout Italy. Some add eggs, some meat. We keep them a little lighter in Caserta, Napoli. Sometimes, we omit the bread crumbs and fry them; typical when they are smaller.
✨10 medium artichokes
1. Remove the stem and keep it. Set aside. Remove exterior leaves and cut the front part off. Spread them out and rub lemon front and back. Add them to a large bowl of water with a little salt and let them swim for 10-15 min.
2. Peel the stems and chop them. Set aside
