- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill leaves

- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Place the onions and scallions in a very large, deep skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes to remove excess moisture.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
