How do you Prepare and eat Whole Globe Artichokes
To eat, pull off the outer leaves, dipping them in your chosen sauce and scraping away the tender part with your teeth.
Work your way down to the tiny, papery leaves near the base, discarding these.
Remove the hairy part of the choke with a spoon, then tuck into the delicious heart.
How do you Prepare Artichokes
- Slice off the stem and pick off the lower leaves.
- Cut off about ½-inch from the top of the artichoke
- At this point, you can clean the artichoke
- Use kitchen scissors to snip the tips of the outer leaves so that they have flat edges.
- Your artichoke is now ready for cooking
What do you do with Globe Artichoke Prepared
Boil or steam young flower buds until tender, then drain and serve with melted butter, vinaigrette or hollandaise sauce.
To eat, remove the leaf scales one by one, dip in the butter or sauce, then suck out the juicy flesh from each scale.
Finish off with the succulent heart. Delicious!
Do you have to remove the Centre of an Artichoke
Similar to the centre seeds of a melon, fresh artichokes have a centre that must be removed before eating.
The “fuzzy choke” centre can be easily removed after being cooked.
Should Artichokes be served Hot or Cold
Artichokes may be served hot or cold.
To eat, pull off outer petals one at a time.
Dip base of petal into sauce or melted butter; pull through teeth to remove soft, pulpy portion of petal.
How to Choose Which Artichokes to Buy
Here are a few guidelines for what to look for when shopping for artichokes:
- Choose artichokes that feel heavy when you pick them up. If they feel light, they’re probably a bit dried out and not as meaty as they should be.
- If you squeeze the artichoke, the leaves should “squeak”. This is another way you can tell the artichoke is fresh.
- The leaves should be closed with just a little separation, not flayed wide open. Remember an artichoke is a flower bud, as it ages, the leaves open up. So, an artichoke with wide open leaves may be on the old side.
- “Frost kissed” is a- okay. If an artichoke looks like it has been burned by frost, no worries. In fact, these less-than-beautiful artichokes can taste even better than those not touched by frost and often command a premium price because of it.
