Poached artichokes, the good and tasty side dish with only 170 calories!

The ingredients

We need: 100 grams of black olives (preferably from Gaeta); ten artichokes; a minced garlic clove (whole if you prefer); a glass of water; the juice of half a lemon; the zest of a lemon; a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil; just enough water, oregano, chopped parsley, salt and pepper.

The preparation

First, clean the artichokes. to prevent them from blackening it is advisable to wear gloves. The more leathery outer leaves are removed to get to the heart, including the residues near the stem, after which the front part is cut off and divided into four parts.

As they are treated in this way, the artichokes are placed in a bowl with water, lemon juice and lemon zest.

Now pour some oil into the bottom of a non-stick pan and then fry the garlic, then add the artichokes, shaking them a little each time to drain the water. Then the flame is raised and they are left to flavor for a few minutes.

At this point, add the olives, pepper, oregano and salt, then mix everything with a wooden spoon, add a glass of water and let it go for 30 minutes, taking care to mix sometimes. At the end, a sprinkling of parsley will do just fine.

Enjoy your meal!
