BRAISED WHOLE ARTICHOKES
Exchanges
Yield: 4 servings

- 4 medium artichokes
- Salt, to taste
- 2-4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Cut 1 inch from tops of artichokes and trim off stems. Place artichokes in medium saucepan and sprinkle lightly with salt; add 1 inch water. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until artichokes are tender, 30 to 40
minutes (bottom leaves will pull out easily).

Remove artichokes from pan; discard any remaining water. Holding artichokes with a towel or hot pad, brush bottom
of each with olive oil; return to saucepan. Cook, uncovered,
over medium to medium-low heat until bottoms of artichokes are deeply browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
