Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the onions and scallions in a very large, deep skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes to remove excess moisture. Add the corn oil and 1½ teaspoons salt and continue to cook until onions become just translucent, 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the artichokes to the pan in an even layer. Add enough water to come of the way up the artichokes. Reduce the heat to a strong simmer, cover and cook for 12 minutes. Turn artichoke pieces over, cover and continue cooking until just barely tender, about 10 minutes more.

  3. Step 3

    Add the beans, carrots and 1/2the dill. Add water to the level of the beans and continue cooking, covered, until the beans are tender, about 7 minutes more.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from the heat. Gently stir in the lemon juice and season with salt to taste. (Some of the beans will lose shape.) Transfer to a platter, drizzle with the olive oil, garnish with the remaining dill and serve warm.
