What is the best way to serve artichoke?

Answer 1

Wash artichokes under cold, running water. Pull off lower petals and cut off bottom stems flush with the base. Cut off about 1/2 inch of the pointed top of the artichoke. Trim the tips of the leaves with scissors to remove thorns. Dip the artichoke in lemon juice to preserve color. Always use a stainless-steel knife and a stainless-steel or glass pot, because iron or aluminum will turn artichokes an unappetizing blue or black. For the same reason, never let aluminum foil come in contact with artichokes. Place the prepared artichoke on a rack above 1- to 2-inches of boiling water. Cover and steam approximately 15 to 45 minutes, depending on size, or until a petal near the center pulls out easily.

To eat, pull off leaves and dip in garlic spiked butter. Scrape the inner part of the leaf off with your teeth. Pull the hairy inner part off the heart. dip and eat the heart. Enjoy.

Answer 2

The best way to serve an artichoke is to make a dipping sauce with garlic and butter and maybe some fresh herbs. After you prepare the artichoke in boiling water, to cook it, dip the leaves in to the sauce and scrape the tiny bits of meat off of the leaves. Then, you can do the same with the heart. Bon Appetit!

Answer 3

Sun Artichokes are the root of a flower closely resembling a sunflower.
They taste like a potato, but a little sweeter and nuttier. The skin holds it together while cooking. It can be cooked like you would a potato, if you are planning to MASH it, as in a leek soup. Otherwise it can be fried in a little butter with the skin on. This can be served as a side dish with a salad. Happy Health Eating!! from Rose
