Sauteed Baby Artichokes

INGREDIENTS

12 very small baby artichokes, stemmed, tough outer leaves removed and halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced fresh mint

PREPARATION

Rub the cut side of the artichokes with a little of the lemon juice.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the artichokes and saute for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then add the water, cover and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Toss with the remaining lemon juice, salt, pepper, parsley and mint. Place on a serving platter, and have plain toothpicks available for skewering.
