1
Warm the Olive Oil in a heavy casserole and brown the artichoke well on all sides — real colour means real flavour.
2
Lift the artichoke out, soften the onion and garlic in the same pot, then add the dried oregano.
3
Return the artichoke, tip in the potato and carrot, and pour over the stock.
4
Cover and let it murmur gently for 35-40 minutes until everything is spoon-tender and the broth has body.
5
Season with salt and cracked pepper, then shower with fresh basil right before serving.

Chef's tip

Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
