Preparation

Soak the artichokes in a bowl of water mixed with the lemon juice.

Turn the artichokes upside-down. Bounce them against a table. This will make it easier to fill.

In a bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, olives, anchovy and tuna.

Divide the mixture into 4 portions. Fill in between the artichoke leaves and in the centre. Place stuffed artichokes in pot filled with 1 litre of water. Drizzle the artichokes with the olive oil. Cook, covered, over low-moderate heat for about 45 minutes or until leaves come away freely.

Drain and serve.

With thanks and regards and looking forward to more of your great recipes. Frances

Hot Tips

Coconut milk/cream

It doesn't take that much effort to get the beautiful sweet mellow taste of fresh coconut. Try and source a coconut grater from an Indian shop or grate it yourself. Crack open a coconut, prize the meat from the shell and peel the brown skin away. Pop small chunks into the food processor or grate on a sharp grater.

Glossary

Mulligatawny

A lightly thickened curry-flavoured meat-and-vegetable soup highly seasoned with curry and spices originating from British India. Adopted by the British and especially popular in Australia.
