Dry Artichoke Rice with Homemade Stock

Dry rice for four with artichokes, asparagus, and homemade stock made from vegetable trimmings.

The stock is made with discarded artichoke leaves and the tough parts of the asparagus, then blended and strained for a fibre-free base. A well-reduced sofrito and cooking without stirring help retain the rice’s dry character.

Method

  1. 01

    Prepare the vegetables for the stock

    Remove the outer artichoke leaves and separate the tough ends of the asparagus stalks. Set aside the artichoke hearts and tender asparagus portions for the rice. Chop the carrot, half onion, and green part of the leek.

  2. 02

    Make and strain the stock

    Brown the carrot, half onion, and green leek part in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the artichoke leaves, tough asparagus parts, and water. Simmer gently, blend, and pass through a fine strainer. Measure 1.1 l for the rice and keep it hot.

    Make the sofrito

    In a paella pan or wide casserole, cook the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil with the 2 onions over medium heat. When the onion is almost ready, add the garlic. Add the grated tomatoes and cook until the sofrito is brown and very dry.

  4. 04

    Sauté the vegetables

    Add the cut artichoke hearts and brown them. Add the cut tender asparagus portions; sauté briefly, then remove and reserve the asparagus tips.
