To prepare the sautéed artichokes, prepare a bowl with acidulated water 1 to dip the artichokes in as you clean them. Wear gloves to avoid staining your hands: cut off part of the base, the hardest part 2. Then remove the outermost tough leaves 3, until you reach the heart: the leaves will have a lighter base.
With a paring knife (or a vegetable peeler) peel the artichokes 4, cut off the tips 5 and as you go, place them in acidulated water 6.
One by one, drain and cut in half 7: remove the inner fuzz always with the paring knife. Divide each half again to obtain slices. Dip them back into the acidulated water. Wash and finely chop the parsley 8. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan with the garlic 9.
Add a sprig of mint 10 and pour in the drained artichokes 11. Salt 12 and let sear for a moment, stirring or shaking the pan
Cover with a lid 13 and cook for 5 minutes. Then de-glaze with white wine 14 and let the alcohol part evaporate for a moment. Season with pepper to taste 15.
Season with parsley 16, stir again. Then add water and cook for another 10 minutes 17, this time without the lid. Your sautéed artichokes are ready, serve immediately 18.
