Nutritional values

Artichoke and paprika ensure that the daily requirement of dietary fibre is already covered by half a portion. Iron, which is important for the oxygen supply of our body cells, is also available in large quantities; thanks to the high vitamin C content of both vegetables, the mineral is particularly well absorbed by the organism.

When buying artichokes, make sure that the buds are closed and that the petals are close to the bud. Wrapped in a damp cloth, you can store the vegetables in the refrigerator for 3 days.

Remove the tough outer leaves. Halve a lemon and rub lemon over cut surfaces of artichokes to prevent browning.

Place artichokes and lemon halves in a pot with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to boil, then cover pot and cook over medium heat until artichokes are tender, about 35 minutes. Remove artichokes from pot and let cool, stem side up.

Rinse bell pepper, wipe dry and cut into quarters. Remove the seeds and place skin side up on a baking sheet. Brush with a little oil and roast under preheated broiler until the skin is blackened and blistered, watching carefully. Remove from broiler, cover pepper quarters with a damp kitchen towel and let stand for 10 minutes.

11.
Stuffed Artichokes preparation step 11

Break bread slices into bite-size pieces and mix into the salad. Fill the center of the artichoke with the salad and serve immediately. At the table, first eat the salad, then eat the artichoke leaves individually by scraping the soft artichoke meat with your teeth. Finally, enjoy the artichoke heart at the bottom.
