Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Strip the leaves from the artichokes, cut them into pieces and put them in lemon water so they don't turn brown.
- Cook them in a pot of salted water with a glug of olive oil, taking care not to overcook them. Then drain and set aside.
- In a pan, fry the artichokes in olive oil with a sliced clove of garlic. Add the diced ham, a teaspoon of flour and a little of the cooking water.
- Cook until you have a thick sauce.
