Warm Salad of Roasted Artichoke, New Potatoes and Pine Nuts

From my Friends in Santa Monica 

Warm Salad of Roasted Artichoke, New Potatoes and Pine Nuts
Serves 6

1 lb. baby artichokes 
1 lb. fingerling potatoes 
¼ cup pine nuts
1 lemon
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 small bunch parsley, chopped
Sea salt
Extra virgin olive oil
Parmesan, pecorino or asiago cheese (whole, not grated!)

Pre-heat the oven to 375.

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, and blanch in boiling water for 5
minutes. Shock in cold water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking.
Combine the potatoes, artichokes, garlic cloves and pine nuts in a roasting
pan.
Using a vegetable peeler, remove a few long curls of lemon zest and add to
the pan.
Give everything a nice lug or 2 of olive oil so all the items are coated.
Bake in a 375-degree oven until all the veggies are soft and beginning to
brown-about 45 minutes.
Take out of the oven and toss in a large handful of chopped parsley, the
juice of the lemons and perhaps more salt and olive oil.
Turn onto a serving platter, top with shavings of Parmesan, pecorino or
asiago cheese (also made with your handy vegetable peeler) and serve. 
 
Wishing you a delicious day,
Clémence and Hadley
