Method

Remove the tough outer leaves from the artichokes and trim the base of the stems. With a sharp knife, trim the tips of the leaves, leaving only the tender parts of the artichokes. Cut into quarters and remove any choke.

Heat the lard and olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the cutlets and brown on each side. Add the garlic, onion, marjoram and wine, and cook for 5 minutes.
