Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg Artichoke

  • 4 pods Garlic, fresh

  • 750 ml Vinegar, distilled

  • 2 spoons Salt, table

  • 2.5 spoons Spices, mustard seeds, ground

  • 4 pieces Spices, bay (leaves)

  • 800 ml Oil, olive

  • 3 pieces Lemon, fresh, without shell

Steps

  1. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice. Remove the outer tough leaves from the artichokes, and use scissors to trim the tips of the remaining leaves, leaving only the soft part and the soft center. Cut the stems close to the head, then place the artichokes in a bowl, pour over the lemon juice, and add enough water to completely cover them.

  2. Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half. Place a pot on the stove and pour in about 750 ml of water, then add the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of salt, and the garlic. Wait for the liquid to boil and then add the drained artichokes. Cook for about 8 minutes, then remove the artichokes with a slotted spoon and let them drain thoroughly.

  3. Wash the remaining lemon thoroughly with hot water and slice it thinly. Divide the artichokes, lemon slices, mustard seeds, and bay leaves among the jars and pour in enough oil to completely cover the ingredients.

  4. Seal the jars immediately and store them in a dark and cool place.

Advice

The ingredients in the recipe are enough to prepare six jars. We use regular glass jars with a screw-on lid. Remember that when the preserve goes into the jars hot, it is sufficient to wash the jars thoroughly beforehand. In all other cases, the jars must be sterilized first. To do this, place the washed jars in a larger pot with boiling water. Cover the pot and let the water boil for about 5 minutes. Then remove the pot from the stove and leave the jars in the hot water until ready to use. It is best to use organic lemons, whose peel is not treated with pesticides. If organic lemons are not available, soak the lemon in hot water for a few minutes and wipe it well to remove the wax, which contains toxins.
