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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
