An homage to the artichoke
March 7, 2013 by LindsayArtichokes are among our favorite vegetables – on our first
visit to Italy, it was so exciting to discover they actually put
them on pizza! But given artichokes’ regionality and the challenge
of eating them, many people avoid getting acquainted. So we wanted
to give a shout out to this article from the L.A. Times:
Let artichoke
possibilities flower.
You may not want to prepare an all-artichoke dinner like the
author, but he certainly highlights how many varied ways artichokes
can be prepared. We particularly enjoyed the education in how to
eat them raw, plus his advice on how to buy artichokes relatively
inexpensively.
And for anyone who isn’t comfortable preparing an artichoke, here’s a selection of videos that will explain everything.
Finally, we’re not certain that many people have seen an artichoke in full-flower, so we decided to use one as the accompanying photo. Hope you enjoy it.
