Artichokes with Jamón is one of the most classic dishes of our gastronomy and meets the requirements of a healthy recipe within a Mediterranean diet. The dish is based on an ingredient of vegetable origin such as the artichoke, in combination with ham in the form of diced ham, which gives it an intense flavor and perfectly complements the unique taste of this vegetable.
Did you know that Spain is one of the countries with the highest artichoke production in the world? Specifically in the areas of Murcia and Valencia is where most are grown. It is a very complete food, since in addition to being able to be cooked in countless ways,
What do you need
10 artichokes
100 gr Jamón cubes
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Olive oil, salt and pepper to taste
How to proceed
Clean the artichokes well, removing the layers of tougher outer leaves, until you reach those that are a little more yellow and tender.
Peel the stalk. And the ones that you have ready, leave them in a bowl with water and a little lemon juice so they do not oxidize.
Put a pot with plenty of water over high heat, and when it starts to boil, cut the artichokes in half and add them to the pot.
Lower the heat a little and let them cook for about 15 minutes - 20 minutes
Meanwhile, peel the onion and cut it into small pieces. Peel the garlic and cut it into slices. Sauté them in a frying pan with a little oil and salt for a few minutes over medium-high heat, until you see that they are lightly browned.
Add the diced ham and let the mixture cook for a couple of minutes.
When the artichokes are ready, drain them and add them to the pan where you are cooking the jamón and onion, keep the heat high and let them cook for 2-3 minutes (1 min for the ham is enough). And that's it!
Add salt and pepper to your liking (be careful with the salt, as the Jamón already gives it a salty touch) and... Now you can serve!
