  20                    baby artichokes
     1/4  cup           extra-virgin olive oil
  12                    garlic cloves -- peeled
   6      ounces        dry white wine -- (frascati)
   1      tablespoon    crushed red pepper flakes
     1/2  cup           fresh mint leaves -- stems removed
                        salt -- to taste
                        freshly-ground black pepper -- 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. Drain artichokes and place in pan with garlic and cook until tender (occasionally spritzing with wine, when necessary, to slow the cooking), about 10 minutes. Add chilies and mint, stir through, season with salt and pepper and serve. Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-5718)
