Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain artichokes, reserving 1/4 cup of the marinade. Cut artichokes into thirds.
  2. Bring reserved marinade to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Continue boiling 2 to 3 minutes until most of the water has evaporated and oil remains. Add rice, onion and garlic; and sauté about 2 minutes until rice smells toasted.
  3. Stir in broth and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover, and simmer about 15 minutes until rice is tender.
  4. Remove from heat. Add artichokes and lemon zest and fluff with a fork to combine. Cover and let stand 5 minutes to steam. Gently stir in parsley and season to taste with salt. Garnish with parsley.
