Raw artichoke salad with graviera cheese and
sun-dried tomato
Ingredients (Serves 4):
-
12 wild artichokes
-
A handful of baby arugula leaves
-
60g sun-dried tomatoes
-
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil BRIGADA
-
Juice of 4 lemons
-
60g graviera cheese from Tinos
-
20g pine nuts
-
A few fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
-
Sea salt
-
A small amount of capers
-
Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
-
Prepare the artichokes by removing all the outer leaves until only the tender heart remains. Then, using a small knife, cut around the stems in a circular motion to remove the tough outer layer.
-
Artichokes tend to darken quickly, so immediately after cleaning, immerse them in a bowl with the juice of two lemons and water.
-
Once all the ingredients are ready, add the arugula to a large bowl, followed by the artichokes (thinly sliced), graviera cheese, sun-dried tomato, the juice of one lemon, a little mint, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
-
Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil BRIGADA.
