Artichokes à la polita with lemony avgolemono sauce. A delicate, aromatic, and traditional recipe with Almito artichokes.

Ingredients you will need

  • 240g peas
  • 440g potatoes, diced (2–3 pcs)
  • 300g carrots, sliced (2–3 pcs)
  • 180g onion, finely chopped (1 pc)
  • 70g fresh onion, finely chopped (1 pc)
  • 50g fresh or frozen dill, chopped
  • 40ml lemon juice
  • 340g Almito Artichokes, quarters (2 packs)
  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 2500ml water
  • 100ml white wine (½ glass)
  • 10g corn flour (1 tbsp)
  • 100g Greek strained yogurt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper

Execution

  1. Sauté the onion in olive oil until slightly softened, then add the diced potatoes, carrots, and peas, continuing to cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Deglaze with white wine and let it cook for 30 seconds to evaporate the alcohol.
  3. Add the water and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes.
  4. Add the dill and continue cooking for another 30 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper during the last 15 minutes.
  5. Five minutes before removing the pot from heat, add the Almito drained artichokes and stir gently.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the “avgolemono” sauce by whisking the egg yolks, lemon juice, yogurt, and corn flour in a bowl until creamy.
  7. Slowly add some hot broth from the pot while whisking to temper the mixture.
  8. Return it to the pot, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly, then remove from the heat and serve warm.
