Ingredients

  • 4 globe artichokes
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 4 heads garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • 4 green or black olives, chopped
  • 4 anchovy fillets, rinsed, chopped
  • 1 can tuna
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Soak the artichokes in a bowl of water mixed with the lemon juice.

Turn the artichokes upside-down. Bounce them against a table. This will make it easier to fill.

In a bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, olives, anchovy and tuna.

Divide the mixture into 4 portions. Fill in between the artichoke leaves and in the centre. Place stuffed artichokes in pot filled with 1 litre of water. Drizzle the artichokes with the olive oil. Cook, covered, over low-moderate heat for about 45 minutes or until leaves come away freely.

Drain and serve.
