With the last artichokes I made some provisions and… since I was there, I also had a delicious and fresh snack. These artichokes are very easy and quick to prepare, they remain delicate, precisely because they are cooked in oil and vinegar and scented with parsley, garlic and mint. You can serve them as an appetizer, side dish, sautéed in a pan, you can season the pizza like bruschetta, in short, in my opinion they are an excellent dinner saver.

Time of realization: 40 minutes + rest (8-12 hours)
Degree of difficulty (1 to 5): 1

Method
Clean the artichokes by removing the hard leaves and cut the ends of the leaves, immerse them in a bowl with acidulated lemon water.
In a large steel pot, put the sliced ​​garlic, mint and chopped parsley,
peppercorns, salt and if you like you can add chilli, add the artichokes, pour 300 ml of oil and 150 ml of vinegar, repeat these quantities until the artichokes are completely covered.
Mix everything, place the pan on medium-high heat and cover with a lid. As soon as it starts to simmer, cook another 3 minutes for the small artichokes and 5 minutes for the larger ones.
When you have reached the optimal cooking, turn off and let it rest, with the lid on for 8-12 hours.
