Ingredients

  • 4 artichokes
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 garlic
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 6 anchovy fillets
  • 20 leaves fresh mint

  • 2 tbsp grated pecorino
  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 200ml/7fl oz white wine
  • 50ml/2fl oz vegetable stock

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
  • Pull off the tough outer leaves from each artichoke and cut off the stalks. Trim off the tops of the leaves with a pair of kitchen scissors and rub each artichoke with the cut lemon to prevent them from discolouring.
  • Finely chop one of the garlic cloves and mix it with the salt and the anchovy fillets in a bowl to form a paste.
  • Add the chopped herbs to the paste with the pecorino and breadcrumbs; mix well.
  • Rinse the artichokes under cold running water, shake off any excess water and gently prise the artichokes leaves open.
  • Sprinkle the artichokes with a pinch of salt and rub the paste inside the leaves.
  • Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof pan. Thinly slice the remaining garlic cloves and add them to the pan, then add the artichokes and potatoes.
  • Add the white wine, let it bubble and then add the vegetable stock.
  • Cover the artichokes with greaseproof paper and place a lid on the pan. Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
