Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
  • 2 lbs baby artichokes
  • 1 tablespoon butter, divided
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag cipollini onions, peeled and halved (about 2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 2 1/2 ounces fresh chanterelle mushrooms, halved
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup sugar snap pea
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese

Method

  • Combine water and 2 tablespoons juice. Working with one artichoke at a time, bend back outer green leaves of artichokes, snapping at base, until reaching light green leaves.
  • Trim about 1/4 inch from top of artichoke. Cut off stem of artichoke to within 1/4 inch of base; peel stem.
  • Cut artichoke in half vertically. Place artichoke halves in lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
  • Set aside.
  • Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onions; cook for 3 minutes or until onions begin to brown, stirring occasionally. Remove onions from pan, and set aside.
  • Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter and oil to pan, stirring until butter melts.
  • Add shallots, mushrooms, and garlic; saute 1 1/2 minutes or until shallots are tender.
  • Add onions and wine; cook for 3 minutes or until wine almost evaporates. Drain artichokes. Stir artichokes and peas into onion mixture; cook 3 minutes or until artichokes are tender.
  • Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with cheese.
