INGREDIENTS:
* Cut the artichokes into quarters. Place in a mixture of the water and lemon juice in a bowl. Let stand for several minutes; drain well.
* Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium skillet. Add the artichokes and garlic. Brown lightly on all sides.
* Stir in the parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, pepper and wine. Steam, covered, over low heat for 20 minutes or until the artichokes are tender-crisp. Cook, uncovered, for several minutes longer if necessary to reduce excess liquid.
