Receta Carciofi e patate in padella (Artichokes and Potatoes)
Artichokes are usually thought of a spring vegetables, but in many countries, including here in the US, they have a second season in the Autumn. It’s a great time to try Artichokes and Potatoes. The tubers bring the kind of heft you want when the weather turns chilly, and they absorb the flavor of the artichokes beautifully, so that a few of those rather expensive artichokes can feed a crowd.
This is not the most photogenic dish in the world—you could even call it ugly—but it makes for a very fine contorno that will go perfectly with just about any meat or fish course.
Ingredients
Serves 4-6
4-5 medium artichokes
4-5 medium boiling potatoes
2-3 cloves of garlic, peeled and slightly crushed
White wine
A few sprigs of fresh parsley, finely minced
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
Directions
Trim the artichokes and cut them into wedges. Peel the potatoes and cut them, too, into wedges. Ideally, they should be about the same size as the artichoke wedges. Drop the wedges in acidulated water as you work to avoid discoloring.
In a braising pan large enough to hold all the ingredients, sauté the garlic cloves in olive oil until just lightly brown and discard. Drain the artichoke and potato wedges, and add them to the braising pan. Season well with salt and pepper, and sauté for a few minutes until the wedges are just starting to color around the edges.
Add a splash of white wine and let it cook off. Then add a glassful of water and cover the braiser, turning down the heat to the gentlest flame. Let the vegetables braise until they are both perfectly tender, about 15 minutes or so.
A few minutes before the vegetables are done, mix in the chopped parsley. Taste and, if necessary, adjust for seasoning. Drizzle with a bit more olive and serve your Artichokes and Potatoes while they are still hot.
