Salad Nicoise a la Francine with artichokes

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

A very well-known salad is: The salad Nicoise. Because there is no fixed recipe, it can be made in many ways. That's why this Salade Nicoise a la Francine. A Salade Nicoise with artichokes. Of course, many chefs claim that his salad is the “true” version. And now I give you one version of the salad nicoise recipe, the salad Nicoise a la Francine. A Nicoise salad with artichokes.

Artichokes are a popular delicacy used extensively in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. They are eaten as a vegetable and prized for their unique taste and texture. Artichokes are usually boiled or fried and can be eaten as a side dish or snack.

In general, there are recurring ingredients in this salad. Such as: boiled egg, tuna, anchovies, green beans, lettuce and capers. In my version we are going to cook a whole artichoke on the side, a typical French recipe that brings a bit of sun to the table.

This is how you make the Salade Nicoise a la Francine:

-We start by cutting the stem of the artichoke and removing the hard outer leaves. These are not tasty and must therefore be removed. Then grease the bottom of the artichoke with half a lemon so that it does not brown during cooking. Take a large pan and add water and the juice of 1 squeezed lemon and submerge the artichokes in it until they are submerged. You can put a plate on top so they don't float to the top, then let them cook for 30 minutes until they are cooked through.

- Then whisk all the ingredients you need for the dressing into a fresh dressing and set it aside.

-Let the tuna drain, and boil the eggs, they can be hard boiled, but if you prefer softer, that's okay too. Meanwhile, cook the haricots verts for 4 minutes.

- Cut the rest of the ingredients and set them aside to finish your plate later.

Once the artichokes are cooked, drain them briefly. Note that you do not eat the hairs/hay in the artichoke, but you can eat the heart and leaves.
