chopped
3 sliced carrots
1 Tbsp. flour

Slice onions and carrots into bottom of a large, but not
deep pot with lid.
Cleaning artichokes, cut stem to 1 to 1 1/2-inches and
rub with lemon. Remove outer leaves, cut off about 1-inch of
top of leaves and rub with lemon. Peel stem and rub with
lemon. Remove chokes from center by working leaves open and
scooping out with a spoon. Rub inside with lemon.
Place artichokes on bed of onions and carrots. Add oil,
salt and pepper to taste, lemon juice and flour mixed with
water. Sprinkle with dill or parsley.
Cut out a piece of white paper, the shape and size of
