Tunisian Artichoke Salad (Marie Haviv)

Another recipe from Marie Haviv which I'm rather fond of. This is a cooked salad and is served during May/April, i.e. the Artichoke season.

6-8 Fresh Artichokes

  • Peel off the leaves and discard, leaving the heart and stalk
  • Cut into pieces.
  • Soak in water with a cut lemon to prevent browning. This doesn't have to be for very long.
  • Drain off the water.

2 big onions, chopped
Harissa (a fairly mild Tunisian chilli paste)
Salt
Half lemon, peeled, chopped
Oil

  • Cook with the Artichokes on low heat until the the Artichokes are tender.
