"Artichokes with stem Alla Romana" has the earthy flavour of fresh artichokes, typically prepared with the stems intact. The artichokes are cleaned, trimmed, and seasoned with a mix of garlic, mint, parsley, and olive oil, creating a savoury and aromatic base. The dish is traditionally cooked slowly in olive oil, sometimes with a splash of white wine, until the artichokes become tender and infused with the vibrant herbs. The stems, left attached, are also cooked to offer a unique texture, often becoming soft and flavorful, complementing the heart of the artichoke. The dish is known for its simplicity, showcasing the natural taste of the ingredients.
