2. Rub with Lemon:

   • Add the prepared artichokes, bay leaf, and thyme to the dish.
   • Stir and allow them to brown for about 2 minutes.

4. Deglaze and Season:

   • Pour in the dry white wine and 1/3 cup of water.
   • Season with salt and freshly ground pepper according to taste.

5. Slow Cooking:

   • Cover the casserole dish and let the artichokes simmer over very low heat for approximately 45 minutes, or until they are tender and coated with the thick cooking juices.
