No, No, NO! The leaves should also be cooked. Dip them in olive oil, butter or whatever, and pull the fleshy part between the teeth - delicious prelude to the orgasmic heart!

You destroyed it.

What a waste of a good artichoke

Artichoke Homicide!!!

What is he thinking! I grew up in the artichoke capital of the world (Castroville, CA) and this guy would be imprisoned for removing the leaves. I cut the top 1" off the artichoke and the bottom stem, invert in a steamer and steam for 20-30 min until the heart is tender. Tear off the leaves and dip in sauce or melted butter and then pull between your teeth to remove the flesh; when finished remove the "hairy" center and eat the remaining heart.

I prepare with a few inner leaves intact, boil in water with vinegar + salt, then drain and fry off with olive oil and a few whole garlic cloves for a few minutes, the leaves can be a bit chewy but are delicious.

There is nothing wrong with artichokes that are a little brown and peel-y on the outside. This is common with the winter crop, and occurs when temperatures dip below 32 degrees in the fields. The "frost-kissed" artichokes are actually more intense in flavor than the unblemished ones, and in-the-know Californians certainly wouldn't turn their noses up at this cold-weather treat!

He's wasting the majority of it.

You can eat the leaves too.
