Slow Cooker Artichokes

By rrxing

Deliciously healthy and low calorie, the versatile artichoke can be prepped and left in the slow cooker while you go about your day.

Ingredients

• 4 artichokes, rinsed and trimmed
• juice from one lemon
• 2 garlic cloves, slivered
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup of white wine*

Preparation

Step 1

Spread open petals of each artichoke for seasoning and to promote faster cooking. Add the white wine to the slow cooker and place the artichokes inside. Four medium artichokes should fit snugly.
Place slivers of garlic between the petals of each artichoke then drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil.
Set the slow cooker on high setting and cover with lid. Cook for 3 hours. 4 hours for extra large artichokes.
Remove and allow to cool before serving.
Notes

*I used a nice Sauvignon Blanc that I also enjoy drinking. Recipe adapted from Ocean Mist Farms

I served these with a Romesco sauce of grilled, peeled mini peppers processed with almonds, parsley, lemon juice and spices.
