Okay, I did one tonight, dh spit his out immediately LOL. I liked it, but, there isn't enough meat. Are they better at certain season's? I really didn't like the fuzzy center. Maybe I didn't cook it right. It was tough.
That figures!! Well, I had to learn.GB said:The fuzzy center is the choke. It is called that because you will choke if you eat it. That part should be cut out with a knife or scooped out with a spoon.
abjcooking said:I got some artichokes to cook for tonight. This is my first time cooking them so I have a few questions. I'm guessing the artichokes I got are the baby ones, but am not positive. The artichoke not including the stem is about 4-5 inches. So what I was going to do was trim the outter leaves and stem, cut a little of the top off and then put it into water with a little lemon and salt. I would add some white wine, but I don't have any on hand. Also, I'm not sure of the cooking time. Then I was going to either serve it whole or cut it in half and serve with garlic butter to dip in.
Does anybody have any better suggestion or other ideas that would be better?
