Preparation Preparing the Artichokes – Giudia style by removing a piece of the stem and the first outer leaves of the artichoke. Clean the stem and cut off the point of the artichoke.

Put plenty of oil in a large pot and start boiling the artichokes at a low heat. Be careful not to boil them too long as they have to be soft but al dente.

After this first step, drain them and arrange them on a plate. Let them cool for about two hours.

Then widen the leaves with your hands and fry them in boiling oil for two to three minutes until they are golden brown.

Let them drain then arrange them on a plate. Add salt both inside and outside and then pepper.

Your dish is now ready to be eaten.
