👨‍🍳 Method

For the Fried onion

1. 1
   Clean the artichokes: Remove the tough outer leaves, cut off the top and the stem, halve and remove the inner choke, and put them straight into water with some of the lemon juice, so they don't darken.

   Add the onion and fry 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onion is soft and translucent and starts to turn golden at the edges. If it browns too fast, lower the heat.

   💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.

   Add the garlic and fry about 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until fragrant. Don't let the garlic brown.

   💡Garlic burns fast and turns bitter. Add it only once the onion has softened, over medium heat, and add the next ingredient as soon as it smells.
