Asparagus and Artichokes in White Wine

Ingredients:

8 Artichokes
1/2 Lemon
500 gr Asparagus
3 Spoons Extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot
50 gr Smoked Bacon
1 Glass of Dry White Wine
3 Sodi Ripe San Marzano Tomatoes
1 bunch of basil
salt
Pepper

Preparation:

Squeeze the lemon.
Deprive the artichokes of the stems, the harder external leaves, the tips and any internal fluff, equalize the bottoms and place them, from time to time, in a basin of water acidulated with the lemon juice so that they do not blacken.
Drain and steam them for about 15 minutes; let them cool and cut each bottom into 4 parts.
In the meantime, remove the hardest final parts of the asparagus, peel them with a potato peeler, possibly with a bow, wash them thoroughly; cut them into 3-4 cm long pieces and steam them for about 8 minutes.
Clean the shallot and chop it; cut the bacon into strips; blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, peel them, remove the seeds, the vegetation water and cut them into cubes; wash the basil and chop it.
Put the oil in a pan and let the shallot wither without letting it brown; add the bacon cut into strips.
After 5 minutes of cooking, pour in the wine and reduce the liquid by half.
Add the artichokes and asparagus and heat them; finally add the tomatoes and basil.
Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 5 minutes.
Serve them hot.
