INGREDIENTS

LOW-CHOLESTEROL
6 Globe artichokes, about 12
ounces each*
1 Lemon, halved
1 T Olive oil
1 Sweet red pepper, cored
seeded and
Diced
1 Clove garlic, sliced large
1/2 t Salt
1/4 t Leaf sage, crumbled
1/2 c Chicken broth

INSTRUCTIONS

l.  Remove tough outer leaves from each artichoke by pulling each  leaf
out and down until it snaps off at base. Repeat until the  tender,
yellow-green leaves have been reached. With stain-less steel  knife,
cut off 1 inch from top of each artichoke; discard. (If using  the
leaves for another use, such as steaming for a first course, to
prevent discoloration, drop in bowl of water with a little lemon  juice
added.) Remove stem from each artichoke. Rub all cut surfaces  of
artichoke with cut lemon to prevent discoloration. With paring  knife,
trim dark green base from each artichoke bottom. Rub with cut  lemon.
With teaspoon, scrape out choke, the hairy center of each  artichoke,
and discard. Cut each artichoke bottom into thin wedges;  place in
lemon-water. 2. Heat oil in large, non-aluminum skillet over
medium-high heat. Add red pepper and garlic; saute 2 minutes. Drain
artichokes. Add artichokes, salt, and sage to skillet; saute 2
minutes. Add broth. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until tender.  Serve
warm or at room temperature. *Note:  For an easier-to-prepare,  but not
quite as flavorful, alternative, substitute 1 package (10  ounces)
frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, for the fresh, and reduce  the salt to
1/4 teaspoon. Make-Ahead Tip: The dish can be made a few  hours ahead
and refrigerated, covered. Gently reheat.  Makes 6 servings. Recipe can
be halved or doubled. Nutrient Value Per  Serving: 96 calories, 4 g
