Elaboración paso a paso
- Preparation
- Using a sharp stainless-steel knife, trim off the artichoke stems and slice 1 inch off the top.
- Rub the cuts with the lemon half.
- Place the artichokes, stem side down, in a large nonreactive pot and cover with water.
- Add the salt and 4 lemon slices. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and boil gently uncovered until tender, 35 to 45 minutes.
- To test doneness, pull a leaf out; if it comes out easily without resistance, the artichoke is done.
- Drain the artichokes upside down in a colander or on a rack.
- When cool enough to handle, discard all the green leaves, scraping off and saving all the edible parts in a small bowl.
- Scoop out the fuzzy choke with a small spoon. Trim the bottom to a nice round shape.
- Combine the tuna, onion, celery, and reserved artichoke pieces in a medium bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise and black pepper; toss gently with a fork.
- Adjust the seasoning.
- Stuff the artichoke bottoms with the tuna and celery salad.
- Arrange the lettuce on a serving platter.
- Place the stuffed artichokes on top of the lettuce, and garnish with the tomato wedges and parsley.
