Artichoke Hearts with Ham
This recipe is a classic dish from the Mediterranean region. It is served hot, which is why it is typically served in winter.
Equipment
- 1 Frying pan
- 1 Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 16 artichokes (cooked)
- 200 grams ham
- 2 onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 100 ml water
- 15 ml white wine
- 15 grams flour
- Olive oil
- Black pepper
- Salt
Instructions
- If the artichokes are fresh, they must first be cleaned and cooked. If they are already cooked, then we can continue with the recipe.
- Chop the onions and cloves of garlic into small pieces, and poach them in a pan over low heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Meanwhile, cut the ham into square pieces and the artichokes into two halves.
- When the garlic and onions are almost ready, we turn the heat to medium-high and add the ham and artichokes to the pan. We let the artichokes toast and brown for 3 minutes.
- Immediately after, add a tablespoon of flour and stir. Then, pour in half a glass of water and a splash of white wine and return to low heat.
- Let it cook for about 5 minutes so that the flavors mix and much of the water and wine evaporate. Check the salt level and serve, as the ham is already quite salty.
Notes
- BUDGET: low
- DIFFICULT: very easy
Great recipe!
