Quick Italian artichoke salad recipe

For the puree

Start by sautéing the onion in a thick-bottomed pan for 5 minutes over a medium flame.

Add the artichoke and thyme and cook until the mixture has a roasted texture.

Pour in some water and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.

Once done, blend the mixture in a blender and strain it before using. Puree is ready to serve.

For the salad

To start, cut an artichoke in half and steam one half for approximately 15 minutes. Set it aside.

Remove the fibrous parts from the other half of the artichoke and grill its heart. After chopping it, set it aside.

Then prepare some greens for your salad. (You can use romaine, crisphead, butterhead, arugula, and iceberg lettuce.)

Mix them with some grilled artichokes and squeeze half a lemon with salt and pepper.

Finally, put the salad over the whole steamed artichoke and plate it. Artichoke salad is ready to serve.

Note:

Always use hand gloves, as artichokes can stain your fingers.

When preparing a salad, adding artichokes to a bowl of lemon water is important to prevent it from turning black.

Another option for creating puree is by using canned artichokes.
