Carciofi alla Romana
Roman artichokes filled with garlic and mentuccia, braised with olive oil.
About Carciofi alla Romana
Turismo Roma presents these carciofi alla romana as the classic Roman preparation. Mammole artichokes hold garlic and fresh mentuccia among their leaves, with lemon used during trimming and extra virgin olive oil in the cooking liquid.
Garlic and mentuccia provide the aromatic seasoning around the artichoke. Black pepper adds its peppery note, while olive oil brings richness to the simple vegetable preparation.
The whole trimmed artichokes cook head down until tender. Their recognisable upright form remains part of the presentation, and the source serves them lukewarm or cold.
