Preparation
- Step 1
Cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice into a bowl of water, and add the lemon halves. Cut the trimmed artichokes into 4 pieces each, and as they are done, add them to the lemon water.
- Step 2
Place a large skillet or broad saucepan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil; a minute later, add the garlic and anchovies. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the anchovies break up and the garlic begins to color, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the squid and the artichokes, stir, cover and turn the heat to medium.
- Step 3
Uncover and stir the mixture every 5 minutes or so. When the squid and artichokes begin to become tender, after 15 or 20 minutes, uncover and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and the squid and artichokes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes longer. Season with pepper. It's highly unlikely this dish will need added salt, especially if you use anchovies, but taste and see. Stir in the remaining olive oil, garnish with the parsley and serve.

To trim an artichoke, snip the pointy leaf ends with a pair of scissors, and then cut according to the picture shown. It looks as if they're cut in slices or maybe just quarters.
What the heck does "trimmed" mean for the artichoke?
This was delicious, and an interesting new way to prepare squid.I used frozen, quartered artichokes, so cut the cooking time way down. Squid and chokes were tender in about 10 minutes. And I forgot to garnish with oil, which would probably be a good thing to do. Yummy over rice, and would also be good over linguine or tagliatelli.
So we turn the heat from medium to...medium?
Used good canned artichokes instead of fresh. Added some fresh lemon juice while cooking. Tasted fantastic over a spoonful of quinoa with a touch of salt and olive oil. Cooking time was ~10-15 minutes.
I had high hopes for this, but it was bland, un-yummy, artichokes were mushy in 15 minutes.
