Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.

Prepare the purple artichokes

Prepare the artichokes but, rather than blanching them, leave them raw.

As you finish preparing each one, cut it into 4 lengthways and plunge it into cold water with a little lemon juice (or, even better, a pinch of vitamin C) added.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 4 min.

Prepare the herbs

Chop 1 spring onion (scallion) finely. Chop the Parsley and Fresh coriander (cilantro) .

Set aside.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

Prepare the lemon dressing

In a small bowl mix the juice of half a lemon with salt and pepper.

Add 4 tablespoons olive oil and mix again.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 1 min.

Put the salad together

Take the artichokes out of the water and dry thoroughly on a tea-towel.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 2 min.

Put them into a salad bowl with the herbs and onion. Pour the dressing over and give and initial mix.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 3 min.

Add 30 g Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) in fine shavings, cut with a vegetable peeler, for example.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 min.

Finish by mixing once more and your salad is ready.

Remarks

Raw artichokes usually turn brown (oxidise) very rapidly, so you need to protect them from the air as soon as they are peeled. That is why we plunge them in water with lemon juice in this recipe. Later, they are mixed with the dressing quickly.

For a more leomny flavour, grate a little zest over the bowl.

And to drink?

A chilled rosé from Provence, or any rosé made with cabernet franc would go well.

Keeping: 1 day in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
