  • About

My friend Maggie Beer once told me my artichoke dish at MG Garage was the best she’d ever tasted. The artichokes themselves taste even better the next day.

Ingredients

  • juice of 1 lemon, strained
  • 8 large globe artichokes
  • 1 cup

Method

Add the lemon juice to a bowl of water large enough to hold the prepared artichokes. Artichokes discolour very quickly once cut, so prepare one artichoke at a time and keep them in the lemon water. Aluminium also makes artichokes discolour, so it’s important not to use aluminium pans or utensils when cooking them. Trim the stem of the first artichoke, leaving 5 cm attached. Snap off outer leave
