Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3/4 cup boiling water

Method

  • In a small bowl, combine the parsley, mint, garlic, salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • In the cavity of the artichoke from which the choke was removed, place 1 teaspoon of the herb mixture.
  • Repeat this procedure with the remaining chokes.
  • Arrange all chokes in a deep pan that keeps them close together, in other words, one that doesn?t give them room to fall over.
