Marinating the Artichoke Hearts

  1. 1

    Combine artichoke hearts

    In a bowl, combine the artichoke hearts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    Tip: Make sure artichoke hearts are well-drained before marinating to prevent excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Prepare lemon marinade

    In a separate bowl, mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and honey.

    Tip: Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor profile. Use a microplane to zest the lemon for a finer texture.
