Baked Artichokes

Delicate roasted artichoke with golden potatoes.

 1hr 15 min

Ingredients:

• Artichokes
• Small to medium sized potatoes
• Olive oil
• Rock salt

Instructions:

Wash the potatoes and put them in the oven whole in a big baking dish (200°C/gas mark 6).

After 15 minutes, cut the root off the artichokes and place them in the oven with the potatoes, drizzling with the olive oil and salt.

Move the potatoes around every 15 minutes so they go golden on all sides.

When the potatoes are soft all the way through and the base of the artichokes are dark green (after about an hour), dinner is ready!

TIP: Amazing served with homemade mayonnaise, a recipe you can find in this blog.

My mum’s recipe for mayonnaise: Much better than the stuff you get in a bottle.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg (for 2 people)
• 4 drops of lemon juice
• Olive oil and salt

Instructions:

Add the egg, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil into a tall container.

Blend it and keep adding olive oil until it has got a creamy consistency. The more oil you add, the thicker it will get. Add salt as desired.
