Ingredients

  • 1 package Pluma Pluma of Spanish blackfoot pig
  • 1 pcs. Lemon Organic
  • 6 pcs. Artichokes Large
  • 2 pcs. Lettuce Onions Peeled and shaved thinly on a mandolin
  • 2 cloves Garlic Peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 package Stem Tomatoes Halved. Small stem tomatoes, very ripe.
  • 4 pcs. Tomato Cut into wedges and deseeded
  • 2 packages Baby Spinach Rinsed and spun thoroughly
  • 1 pcs. Rosemary Fresh, rosemary sprig
  • 0.5 pcs. Chili Red. Deseeded and finely chopped
  • Olive Oil Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea Salt
  • Pepper Freshly ground, black

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with water, a little salt, and the juice of one lemon. Then break off the stems of your artichokes and cut off half of the top leaves. Boil them for 8-10 minutes and let them cool slightly in the brine. Then pluck off the leaves and remove the "choke" with a spoon. Finally, cut the bottoms into sixths.
  • Place your salad onions in a bowl with ice-cold water.
  • Next, add olive oil to a heavy-bottomed saucepan and fry your garlic until golden. Pour the remaining oil into the saucepan and let the garlic simmer for another 7-10 minutes (on low heat, so it doesn't boil).
  • Season the meat with salt, pepper, rosemary leaves, and chili, and fry it for 3-4 minutes on each side on a red-hot pan. Let it rest on a rack and save the fat.
  • Sauté the artichoke bottoms with tomatoes for a couple of minutes and then add the garlic oil and spinach leaves. Season with good salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Then use a hand blender to emulsify and blend the sauce. Strain it afterward into a serving bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and possibly a bit of lemon juice.
  • Arrange the vegetables on a hot platter. Quickly return the meat to the pan, split it lengthwise, and arrange it with the vegetables. Serve with the sauce.

Notes

Not many dare to tackle artichokes in their cooking, but the method in this recipe is quite easy to follow. In fact, you can watch the video with Thomas Rode's tips for Artichokes on @Rigtigmad.dk's Instagram page.
