Baked Artichokes
We love this fool-proof technique for cooking artichokes. The addition of the garlic-basil rub makes this side dish irresistible!
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Trim the top inch off the artichokes and the stem if it's long. Wash the artichokes well in cool water. Using a sharp knife, slice the artichoke down the center to form two halves.
Clean out all the fuzzy material and smaller leaves (we used a spoon and our fingers), then immediately rub all the cut areas with a lemon to prevent browning.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic, basil, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix until it becomes a paste. Spoon the mixture into the artichoke halves and over the leaves, about a teaspoon for each artichoke.
Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and place the artichokes cut-side up in the dish. Pour the vegetable or chicken broth in the dish and cover with a lid or tin foil.
Bake for 45 or until soft and tender and the leaves pull away easily.
