Or use mayo with dill.
ICK!
Get those veggie steamer bags - takes like 5 minutes in the microwave. I dip mine in salt or soy sauce.

I'll bring that when I come for dinner
Cowgirl, to more thoroughly answer you question:
Cut the stem down to just a nub and trim the prickles off the leaf ends with scissors.
Cook according to previous instructions. You can also cut them lengthwise and grill them.
Pull the leaves off the artichoke and scrape the pulp at the end with your teeth.
When you're down to the fuzzy stuff, scrape that off the artichoke heart and eat the heart. <-- this is the best part.

I didn't know you could do that. Now when I have a craving, I can have one really quick, like at work. This is great news!

I :heart: you, too. Don't you love it when you bring one up to the cashier and they say "What is this?" Duh. I always remind them to be careful about the sharp edges.

Yes! Funnier was bringing the EX to CA and showed them to him on the plant.
I wish we could grow that and avacodos here.
I agree.

I have one in my kitchen....
Did it get big enough to bear fruit? I've grown them a few times before, but never got them to fruit bearing size.
We had arties tonight. They are a bit of work to eat, but so worth it. We've had them twice in the last 2-3 weeks. Not sure why we don't eat them more often.
In NJ, they are often baked with garlic & bread crumbs. I haven't had 1 of those in ages.
In Italy they put the entire choke in the campfire. When the center leaves pull out easily, they are done. You throw away the burnt outer leaves but the rest of it is amazing.
They taste better than they look.
