How is the artichoke prepared in the Roman style?
In Spain, some fried preparations (such as the famous shrimps in Roman Style) are usually called “a la Romana”, but conversely, these artichokes are not fried. They are an Italian recipe that is achieved by stewing these tender inflorescences with fragrant herbs (parsley, mint, basil).
Artichokes a la Romana is a healthy and nutritious recipe that can be served as an aperitif or to accompany any other dish. But artichokes are also usually eaten with ham, in omelettes, with rice or candied.
