Step 1
Peel and cut the artichokes in halves or quarters if they are large - the pieces should be about the size of a quail's egg or slightly larger, give or take the odd corner. -
Step 2
Drop the artichokes into water acidulated with the lemon juice as you work , to prevent browning. -
Step 3
Drain and dry the artichokes. Heat the oil and butter in a wide frying-pan over a low to moderate heat, until foaming. -
Step 4
Tip the artichokes into the fat in a single layer. If you have too many and they are hopelessly heaped up, you'll need to use a second pan, or cook them in batches. -
Step 5
Cover and cook for 10 minutes or so, occasionally shaking the pan gently. Check after 5 minutes and turn them over carefully. -
Step 6
After 10 minutes, remove the cover. The artichokes should be beginning to brown. Cook for a further 10 minutes until they are tender, turning occasionally, so that they colour evenly. -
Step 7
While they cook, chop the parsley, garlic and lemon zest together very finely to make a 'gremolata'. When cooked, season the Jerusalem artichokes with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the gremolata.
