Artichokes and Preserved Lemons With Honey and Spices

Ingredients

• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1 pinch turmeric
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 1/2 preserved lemons
• 1 cup water
• 1 lb artichoke bottom
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. 1

   Remove the peel from the preserved lemons and cut into strips (I ran it through the garlic press to distribute the flavor more evenly).

2. 2

   Heat the garlic in the oil on medium heat for a few seconds, stirring.

3. 3

   Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.

4. 4

   Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until artichokes are tender, turning occasionally for even cooking.

5. 5

   Add a little water if necessary, or remove the lid to reduce the sauce.
