Ingredients for Artichokes Sauteed In Herb Infused Butter

  • Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • White Onion
  • Garlic
  • Chili Flakes
  • Lemon Thyme
  • Fresh Chives
  • 4 large artichokes, trimmed and quartered
  • Water

How to Make Artichokes Sauteed In Herb Infused Butter

  1. Trim the artichokes: Remove the tough outer leaves, cut off the stem, and trim the top of each artichoke. Quarter each artichoke lengthwise.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add the quartered artichokes to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly tender.
  4. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  5. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  6. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender and have absorbed some of the butter and wine mixture. The artichokes should be easily pierced with a fork.
  7. Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian main course. Garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
