Wrap the stuffed artichokes in thin slices of bacon; string them, and set them in a saucepan prepared for braising. Braise them gently with white wine, and cook them well. When about to serve them, remove the string and the bacon, and dish them. Strain the braising-liquor, and clear it of grease; thicken it with the necessary quantity of good half-glaze sauce; reduce it sufficiently to produce only a very little sauce, and pour the latter over the artichokes. 2029—CCEURS D’ARTICHAUTS A LA CLAMART Select some very tender small artichokes, and trim them.
