Ingredients:
3 large globe artichokes
3 tsp lemon juice
Salt and black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil)
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 tbsp capers
Crumbled feta cheese to taste
Vinaigrette
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Cut off the stalk of the artichoke. Peel off the tough outer layers by hand. When you reach the softer layers, use a serrated knife to chop off about ¾ inches of the top
Now, cut artichoke in half length-wise. Then, using a spoon, remove the fuzzy choke on the inside, (on top of the heart)
Place artichoke on baking sheet, add lemon juice to prevent discoloring, salt and pepper to season and a clove of garlic
Drizzle Olive Oil and close the foil around the artichoke
Roast in the 400 degrees F heated-oven for 40 minutes. Drizzle with vinaigrette, capers, shallots and feta when read
