Tips for cleaning artichokes
According to Ada Parellada, cleaning artichokes can be a tedious task for many people. But she gives us some simple tips to simplify this process. First of all, he recommends cleaning them while watching a series or listening to a radio show, because that way the time will pass faster.
Allies for efficient cleaning of artichokes are parsley, lemon and ice. First, put the lemon and parsley in ice water, so that the artichokes are cleaned better. Afterwards, the outer and tougher leaves of the artichoke must be removed, using gloves to avoid getting your hands dirty.
An interesting trick that Ada Parellada gives us is not to throw away the artichoke stem, but to use it for other dishes such as rice or sautéed. Also, to prevent the artichokes from turning black, they should be smeared with lemon. Finally, you can add oil, salt and ham to give them a more intense flavor.
