What are Roman-Style artichokes: the traditional recipe
The Roman-style artichoke is a historic preparation of Lazio, typically linked to the round, thornless Romanesco artichoke variety. The artichoke is stripped of its tougher outer leaves, cleaned of the inner choke and cooked whole, standing upright, in an aromatic base of oil, garlic and Roman mint (the wild mint typical of the Lazio countryside), with parsley and a touch of salt. It is precisely this mint that gives the dish its unmistakable aroma, clearly distinguishing it from the crispy fried "alla giudia" artichoke.
The Roman-Style Artichokes by Ristoris faithfully reproduce this aromatic profile in a ready-to-use preserve: the artichoke heart stays tender and meaty, the stem soft, and the herbal aroma accompanies every bite. They are whole artichokes, ideal to serve as they are or to use as a base for countless recipes.
