The Method

1
If using canned artichoke hearts, drain well and cut into halves or quarters depending on size. If using frozen, thaw completely and pat dry. This helps them brown nicely.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and tender.
5
Pour the lemon juice over the artichoke hearts and stir well to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7
Transfer the artichoke hearts to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic.

If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley, but fresh is preferred.

Serve with crusty bread for dipping in the delicious olive oil and lemon sauce.

A splash of dry white wine can be added to the pan after sautéing the garlic for extra flavor.
