Braised artichokes
SERVES 6 AS A SIDE OR ENTRÉE
PREP AND COOK TIME 1 HOUR
1½ cups (375ml) verjuice
6 large globe artichokes
2⁄3 cup (180ml) extra virgin olive oil
8 black peppercorns
3 fresh bay leaves
200g fresh ricotta
¼ cup flat leaf parsley
1 Place the verjuice in a glass or ceramic bowl. Trim the artichoke stems to approximately 3cm from the base and remove any tough outer leaves; peel stems. Cut in half lengthways and remove the hairy chokes from the centres. Place the artichokes in the verjuice to stop discolouration.
2 Drain the artichokes, reserving the verjuice, then pat them dry with kitchen paper.
3 In a large frying pan, heat 1/3cup (80ml) of the olive oil over a medium heat. Add the artichokes cut side down; cook until lightly browned. Pour in the remaining olive oil and reserved verjuice, add peppercorns and bay leaves; bring to the boil. Place a sheet of baking paper over the top and reduce the heat to low. Gently simmer for 40 minutes or until tender. Stand to cool.
4 To serve, remove the artichokes from the pan, place onto a serving platter and spoon over the ricotta. Sprinkle over the parsley and drizzle over some of the cooking juices, and season to taste. Not suitable to freeze or microwave.
