Posted in artichoke blog home, recipes 31. Jan, 2012
Rinse artichoke globes Cut off the tops with a knife about 1 to 2 inches and discard. Slice off the stem and pull off the bottom row of leaves at the base. These will be too tough to eat.
Gently pull open the globe.
Scoop out the center ball with a spoon and remove. Pull out additional leaves necessary to make room for stuffing. Use the spoon to scrape out the artichoke hairs at the bottom on top of the artichoke heart below.
The inner ball can actually be enjoyed cooked or raw.
Squeeze lemon over the artichoke globe. This will keep the globe from browning and reduce the bitter artichoke taste. Enjoy steamed, boiled, grilled, and even deep fried.
