How Do You Artichoke?

Here we trim and steam upside down over water with white wine, celery and garlic. (No idea where my wife learned that). My wife is a butter person; I’m mayo mixed with sriracha and lemon juice.

Have you tried roasting them?

I used to steam them in a slow cooker with some chicken broth, garlic, and slices of lemon. They were pretty good with a Dijon/Mayo dipping sauce.

Years ago I had an artichoke stuffed with tiny Bay shrimp between the leaves. Delicious.

I like the hearts in a pasta dish with gremolata and some grated Parmesan cheese.

Found these beauties growing in a narrow strip of dirt at the edge of a parking lot; the bees were merrily enjoying the blossoms.
