Baby artichoke and Manchego salad

Baby artichoke and Manchego salad

Artichokes seem a chore to prepare, but this is only the case when they’re more mature and fibrous. It takes seconds to peel the outer layers of young ones.

Serves 4

Cooking Time Prep time 20 mins



4   young globe artichokes
1 tbsp   lemon juice
¼ cup   (firmly packed) dill sprigs
60 gm   Manchego, shaved
Sour orange dressing
Juice   of 1 orange, strained
1 tsp   sherry vinegar
1 tbsp   extra-virgin olive oil


1 Remove outer leaves until heart is exposed. Peel green layer from stalk, then remove choke with a spoon and discard. Place lemon juice in a bowl and shave artichoke, using a mandolin, into bowl, tossing to coat in lemon juice and prevent discolouration, set aside.
2 For sour orange dressing, combine ingredients in a bowl and season to taste.
3 Drain artichokes of excess lemon juice, add dill and toss to combine. Pour over dressing, toss lightly, season to taste and serve immediately scattered with Manchego.


Drink Suggestion Aromatic white Rueda.
