Season the meat with salt, pepper, cloves of garlic, chopped rosemary, and other aromatic herbs, to give the dish a tastier taste. Leave it to rest for at least 1 hour (or even overnight) in the refrigerator.
And then cook it in a large bottom saucepan with the carefully cleaned and chopped artichokes, garlic, plenty of oil and rosemary. You can also accompany this dish with a hot side dish based on mixed vegetables or with a fresh salad.
STEP 1
To prepare the lamb with artichokes, start by finely chopping the garlic and heating it in a large pan in hot olive oil.
STEP 2
Once browned, add the lamb cut into pieces, add salt and turn the meat to let it color a little, then continue cooking over low heat for 25 minutes, placing the lid on the pan.
STEP 3
While waiting, clean the artichokes, remove the tips and outer leaves and cut them into large wedges, then put them in the pan with the meat and mix well.
STEP 4
Add the chopped parsley, blend with the white wine, and once the wine has evaporated, season with salt and put the lid back on, letting it cook for 35 minutes or until the meat is tender. If it gets too dry, add a little bit of vegetable broth.
STEP 5
After the cooking time, turn off the heat, sprinkle a little pepper and serve the lamb with artichokes in a beautiful tray or pan. Enjoy it with a generous amount of bread!
