Roasted Artichokes & New Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 globe artichokes
200 g new potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons lemon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely (see note above)
2 sprigs rosemary, with the leaves removed (and sticks discarded)
freshly ground rock salt and black pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Scrub the new potatoes and rub with the olive oil.
Put into an oven dish and sprinkle over the rosemary, salt & pepper. Cook until just soft & golden (about 30-40 mins, but keep checking just in case!).
Working quickly (as they go brown), prepare the artichokes by removing & discarding all of the leaves and stems (cut this off at the base), and remove & discard the fluffy bit from inside. Cut what is left into chunks. Add to the potatoes along with the garlic and stir until coated in oil.
Cook for another 20-25 minutes.
Nice served with steamed fish & greens.
