Appetizer Of Artichokes And Anchovies

Preparation:

Preparation: Start by cleaning the anchovies by depriving them of the heads and bones, then wash and dry them. Switch to the artichokes: clean them, cut them into slices which you will put, as you cut them, in water acidulated with lemon to prevent them from blackening. Take a baking dish, butter it and sprinkle the bottom with a part of the chopped garlic and parsley, salt and pepper, then make a first layer with the anchovies, then with the drained and dried artichoke slices, add salt and pepper and continue like this until when the ingredients are used up, then sprinkle everything with oil. Add a glass of water and put the pyrophile on the fire, over a moderate flame, with a lid or if you prefer in the oven, and let it cook very slowly for about an hour. When they're ready, bring to the table in the dish itself.
