Default artichokes

I really like steamed artichokes, and they must be in season now, cause I got big ones for a $1 each this weekend

Ok, just had to get rid of the guilt of my molten chocolate cake recipe hanging around for so long...so this is an official recipe un-bump thread.

but if you like artichokes too....:p

haha cappy! you can stuff them too - although I'm not sure how healthy that is. we just stuff them with breadcrumb, garlic, seasonings and some oil - that's my favorite way to have them.

That's the way they eat them in New Olreans

when you stuff them, do you still eat the leaves and then cut down to the heart, or is there an art to cleaning them before you cook & stuff?

I am sure you can stuff them with brown rice and ground beef,kind of like stuffed peppers, but you would have to precook the stuffing.

I love artichokes unadulterated. Steamed. Maybe cut in half and grilled afterward. Maybe.

when we stuff then we just cut a little bit off the top to get some of the spikes off the top-most layers. other than that we'll just wash them in cold water. you have to cook them in a pot where they're packed close together (or they'll fall over and yo'ull lose all of the stuffing) and put a little bit of water into the bottom of the pot so you don't burn the bases. then just eat them layer by layer - i don't usually eat the leaves b.c they get tough but i'll "scrape them" and then eat the heart once i make it that far. (once you make it closer in to the heart the leaves are softer and easier to eat)

I didn't see artichokes at the market yesterday, but they should be coming into season right around now. Thanks for the reminder -- I'll have to keep an eye out.

LD, you're right on. Simple steaming is the best for fresh ones.
