OMELET WITH ARTICHOKES

Ingredients

8 medium artichokes or 5 large ones

100 g olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

5 large eggs

Instructions

Clean the artichokes by removing the outer green leaves.

Underneath them there are white leaves. These leaves have pins at their end.

Cut the end of these leaves and the pins and toss them.

With a knife remove the hard peel all around each artichoke.

Rub each artichoke around with lemon to prevent black coloring.

Cut each artichoke in half and remove their hair from their center.

Cut quartered artichokes as French fries are cut.

Put the oil in a frying pan 26 cm in diameter.

Place the pan over medium heat.

Just warm the oil and put the artichokes into the pan.

Stir the artichokes from time to time.

Cover frying pan with a lid and lower the heat slightly.

Stir occasionally.

Let artichokes to cook and become soft and tender.

When the artichokes are ready, they get a light brown color and a fork penetrates easily into their flesh.

Put the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly. Add some salt and pepper for taste.

Stir artichokes and pour the beaten eggs over them. Lower even further the heat.

Cover the frying pan with a flat cap.

Let the eggs be cooked on one side.

Turn the pan upside down and the omelet drops on the lid.

Place the omelet turned on the pan.

Let the heat on for 3 more minutes and then turn it off.

Do not remove the omelet from the heat but leave it on it to be cooked thoroughly.
