If you start with homemade baked artichokes, this dish is made very quickly and without sacrificing quality. However, nothing happens if we start with a few raw artichokes, we just need to clean and cook them to start this recipe. After cooking them, this recipe is made in 15 minutes.

Finely chop the garlic and onion so that they can be boiled in a pan on low heat. This way they will be very soft. Meanwhile, cut the artichokes in half and fry them until golden brown.

We’re going to create a nice mix between the fried artichokes and the well-boiled onions and add the ham cubes. We will cook the mixture until the ham looks like York (with a pink hue). At this point we will add the white wine and the artichoke cooking water and raise the heat to simmer.

In most cases, salt is not necessary thanks to the ham. But we can always try and fix it if we want. We can also finish the meal with a few drops of lemon.

What will accompany the ham artichoke recipe?

While the dish itself can go without a side dish, for those who are fond of dessert, we can always accompany this artichoke with ham recipe with a slice of good bread (the ones we find at artisan bakeries are delicious). Speaking of drinks, some expert sommeliers may recommend a glass of white wine, but we can always opt for a refreshing beer if we prefer.
