Ingredients

9 artichoke hearts, fresh or frozen
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon, or to taste

Salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put the artichoke hearts in a pan with the rest of the ingredients and barely cover with water. Simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes if fresh or 10 minutes if frozen, until tender. Lift out the artichokes and reduce the sauce.
