  • Step 1/4

    Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F. Add juice of half of lemon  to a large bowl of water. Remove outer leaves of artichokes until you reach the pale yellow center, periodically dipping the artichoke into the lemon water to prevent browning. Peel base and stem of artichoke, then slice off the top third of the artichoke leaves. Slice in half, then use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy center and purple prickly leaves. Slice halves into thirds. Peel and crush garlic, slice other half of lemon, and halve tomatoes.
