When the artichokes are well cooked and very tender, blend them with a mixer along with garlic, mint leaves, black pepper, the lemon skin grated and 3 tbsp of olive oil and salt as needed. If the artichokes dip is too thick, add a little more of water and blend again. Finally, sift the sauce to eliminate the most tenacious part of the artichokes and obtain a consistent dip.
