Voiceover. Set out a scale and the equipment for Carciofi alla romana. Heat to 325°F / 163°C in the oven, or a quiet simmer on the stove and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot.

Braise trimmed artichokes with garlic and mint in olive oil and a little water. Amounts are scaled for four from foods this library can count, so the nutrition panel comes from those ingredients.
