Ingredients:

20 medium baby artichokes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
12 cloves garlic -- peeled
6 ounces dry white wine -- (frascati)
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves -- stems removed
1 teaspoon salt -- to taste

Preparation:

Peel and trim artichokes, leaving stem intact and place in acidulated water. Place olive oil and garlic cloves in pan and place over medium-high heat. Cook until garlic is light golden-brown.
