Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the artichokes, trim off the tough outer leaves, and remove the prickly tips. Halve the artichokes and soak them in water mixed with lemon juice to prevent browning.
2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the artichokes for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Drain and let them cool.
3
Place the artichoke pieces, thinly sliced garlic, bay leaves, and chopped dried chili peppers into a sterilized jar.
4
In a saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, brown sugar, salt, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fresh dill to a boil. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
5
Pour the cooled spiced brine over the artichokes, ensuring they are completely submerged.
6
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
7
Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours before consuming to allow the flavors to fully develop.
