Instructions
Heat 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. To see if it is nice and hot, touch it with your tongue.
Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat until it gets all shimmery and shiny.
Add artichokes and ½ teaspoon salt and cook until slightly brown, up to 10 minutes or so.
Stir in thyme sprigs, lemon zest, garlic, fennel seeds, and pepper flakes and cook until it smells like a little slice of heaven. Shouldn’t take more than a hot minute.
Stir in olives and remaining oil. Reduce heat to low and cook until flavors become one with the Baby Jesus and mixture is heated happily. (20 minutes)
Throw out the thyme sprigs and lemon zest, if desired. Keep ‘em in if ya feel dirty.
Gently stir in feta and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
