Directions
- Trim the artichokes: remove the outer leaves, the tough parts and the stalk. Keep them in lemon water so they do not darken.
- Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and soften the onion until it turns pale gold.
- Add the carrots and stir for 3-4 minutes.
- Set the artichokes in the pan. Add the peas, lemon juice, sugar and salt.
- Pour in the hot water, cover, and cook over low heat for 35-40 minutes.
- When the liquid has reduced, take the pan off the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Serve scattered with dill.
