Simmered and later sauced in a lemony olive oil spiced with fennel and coriander seeds, artichokes absorb a complex blend of gorgeous flavors. The tender, juicy hearts bronze in a hot skillet just before serving, adding depth to this delicate dish.

Cooks' Note

Artichokes can be braised 1 day ahead and chilled in cooking liquid. Reheat to warm before proceeding.
