1 shallot, sliced
6 garlic cloves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
Fresh basil, chopped
The Method:
✅️ Submerge: Place artichoke quarters in a saucepan and cover completely with olive oil to prevent browning.

✅️ Infuse: Remove from heat. Let the artichokes cool completely right in the aromatic oil.
