    How to Make Mediterranean Herb-Infused Artichoke Sauté

    1. Cook the Onion

    Start by heating 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 7 minutes.

    2. Cook the Artichokes

    Remove the cooked onions from the pan and set them aside. Add another 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil to the same pan. Increase the heat slightly and add the trimmed and sliced artichokes. Cook the artichokes for about 10 minutes, allowing them to become tender and browned.

    3. Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked onions to the pan with the artichokes. Add the chopped garlic and a mix of your chosen herbs—thyme, marjoram, oregano, savory, or parsley—along with a pinch of salt and some fresh-ground black pepper. Cook everything together for about 2 minutes.

    4. Adjust Seasoning

    Taste your sauté and adjust the seasoning with a bit more salt if necessary.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Quality Ingredients

    Use the freshest artichokes or thoroughly thawed and well-drained frozen hearts to prevent excess moisture during sautéing.

    Acid Balance

    Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving to brighten the dish and balance flavors.

    Artichoke Preparation

    Clean, trim, and keep artichokes in lemon water to prevent browning before sautéing.

    Finishing Touches

    Drizzle high-quality extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle flaky sea salt for added flavor and texture.

    Herb Selection

    Opt for fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, oregano, and basil, finely chopped to release their oils and enhance fragrance.
