How to clean artichokes
- We start by cutting the stem, we can leave it if we want but we have to peel it.
- We remove the outer leaves until we see that the artichoke has a yellowish color.
- Cut the tip and rub some lemon juice so it doesn’t rust.
- Peel the base and put in cold water with parsley
Prevents the artichoke from rusting
Many times we ask ourselves how to prevent the artichoke from rusting, since nothing else comes into contact with the air, it wilts. That doesn’t mean it goes bad, but it changes color and oxidizes.
- The first trick is to cut half a lemon to prevent it from getting juicy by scrubbing it a bit. This method can cause the artichoke to taste somewhat tangy and lemony. For me the second option.
- The best method is to put them once cut in ice water and a few sprigs of parsley. That way they will come out perfectly.
Artichokes with ham recipe

Ingredients
- 6 large fresh artichokes

Effect
1.- Peel the artichokes as I indicated before. Cook the artichokes in salted water for about 15 minutes. Don’t throw the water away because we are going to reserve it.
2.- While we are going to poach the onion and garlic in a little extra virgin olive oil until they become transparent, for about 10 minutes.
3.- After the time, add the flour and let it cook for a few minutes. Then we add the ham and reserve.
4.- With the cooked artichoke hearts, add them together with a little sauce and saute for a few minutes. Add salt and black pepper to taste, carefully because the ham already adds a lot.
