Directions:
- Prepare the artichokes one at a time.
- Trim the base of the stalk at an angle, then peel the stem.
- Cut off the leaves about 5mm from the top.
- Rub the cut surfaces with a lemon half.
- Now start peeling away the artichoke leaves, removing at least 4 layers, until you reach the pale leaves.
- Spread the top leaves and scrape out the choke with a teaspoon. Immerse the artichoke in a bowl of cold water with the other lemon half (to prevent discolouration).
- Repeat with the rest of the artichokes.
- Place the bay leaves, lemon halves, wine and artichokes in a large pan and add enough water to cover.
- (The artichokes should fit snugly in the pan.)
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for about 30-35 minutes until the artichokes are tender.
- Drain thoroughly.
- To make the dressing, chop the mint leaves very finely together with the garlic, then place in a bowl with the olive oil, wine vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
- Whisk to blend thoroughly.
- Arrange the artichokes upside down (with their stalks sticking up) on serving plates.
- While still warm, pour over the dressing and serve.
- Artichokes grow all over Italy, but Rome is especially renowned for its small, tender artichokes.
- Try to buy young artichokes with long stalks, as these are tender and won't yet have developed much of a choke.
