How to clean artichokes - cooking tutorial

The artichoke is as good as it is difficult to manage... learn how to clean artichokes with Sonia, on the cooking tutorial by YellowSaffron!

***

Sauteed, fried, or boiled: the artichokes are very versatile and can be cooked in a variety of ways, but first you need to clean them carefully.
Let's see how to do.
Since the artichokes oxidize quickly when exposed to air, rub your hands with a lemon before starting, to keep from turning black.
Cut off the end of the stem and remove the tough outer leaves with a knife.
When you reach the tender leaves, cut off the thorns.
Then, with a knife, remove any leaves toward the base.
Cut the artichoke into half lengthwise.
Using a melon baller or the tip of a knife, remove the hairy choke.
If you want to make stuffed artichokes, choose the green globes. After removing the outer leaves, don't cut them into half, but remove the hairy choke in this way.
After cleaning the artichokes, put them in a bowl with acidulated water: in this way they won't turn brown.

can you make a tutorial on how to choose good avocado and how to wash and cut it..we Malaysian don't normally use avocado in our daily dishes.. but i would like to try it because it says to be good for health ...thanks

@applecinnamonflower In Italy it's not very common, too! You have to choose a fully ripe avocado, cut into halves and the pit will come out very easily...

@yellowsaffron When picking an avocado, one tip is to make sure the stub of the stem is still attached to the avocado. Avocados that are fresh keep their stem and have less of a chance of going bad.
