Artichoke flowers with ham

We put a pot of water to boil. Cut half a lemon and set aside. Take the artichokes, cut the stem and peel them.

Cut off the leftover artichoke root and tip. As soon as we do it, with the half lemon we have we pass it through the cuts. That way they will not darken

When the water is boiling, add salt and the lemon we used before. Add the artichokes and cook for about 10 minutes. Check with a knife that they are ready.

Remove the artichokes, let them cool a little and open them in flower. From the outside to the inside.

Heat the frying pan with a little oil and place our flowers face down.

Let them brown for a few minutes

Transfer the artichokes to the plate and serve with a little oil, coarse salt and ham to taste.
