Preparing an Artichoke

[yesnokeigh]

are artichokes supposed to have purple sap coming up the middle of them?

[mewmewfanhallowen]

Fantastic tip. I bet you could stuff some good stuff into those halfs.

I've never seen them come in a long stem like that in the store... and I can't even find the small ones. Always seem to be Jumbo's. I'm addicted to these things.... just sucks when they not in sale. Was just 1.50... now 3 bucks a pop. :(

Thanks for using an Ocean Mist brand artichoke! The original-classic artichoke varitey out of Castroville!

[Scarlatti2007]

Thanks for that. I ruined my first one, before seeing this video, now I'll be prepared.

My wife is a chef, and I wanted to impress her.  Your video helped me, THANK YOU!!!

Ah... I totally adore artichokes. Great video, Rey.

I always cook mine whole and lift out the "choke" when I get there while eating it, but your method makes a great presentation. I like whipping up a hollandaise as a dip, but if I'm lazy, melted garlic butter works FINE.

Moosie

I tried taking out the purple leaves and the heart of the artichoke ended up overcooked, I still like the technique though if you're just eating the leaves.

Nice way of preparing. Well done! I serve mine with an olive oil, garlic, parsley, pepper and salt dip.

What the hell are you doing,That poor knife is crying bashing up against that glass cutting board!

[Thetomeffect]

Old cooks are so cool. I can't wait 'till I'm one.

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

I was frightened you would cut your fingers off the way you use that knife; but, you didn't, and know I know one way to cook a 'choke.

[mindor100]
