How to Make Aginares Latheres Artichokes With Vegetables Vegan
- **Prepare the Artichokes:** If using fresh artichokes, remove the coarse outer leaves and stem. Cut off the top and scoop out the choke with a spoon. Trim remaining leaves to reveal the pale heart. Rub each heart with lemon juice immediately and place in a bowl of cold water with the juice of 1/2 lemon. Set aside.
- **Sauté Vegetables:** In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- **Add Remaining Vegetables:** Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- **Combine with Artichokes:** Drain the artichoke hearts and add them to the pot along with the chopped dill and celery. Season with salt and pepper.
- **Make the Lemon Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the remaining lemon, 1/2 cup water, and 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth.
- **Simmer:** Pour the lemon mixture into the pot, stirring to combine. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil.
- **Low and Slow:** Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for approximately 1 hour, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
- **Serve:** Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Garnish with extra lemon wedges if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
