I also dip them in ranch dressing.

When I cook them I cut off the tips of the leaves about 1/3 of the leaf. Then cut off the stem, so it will sit up nicely in a bowl after cooking. I put minced garlic in a large pot and place the artichikes upside down in a steamer basket. Put on the lid and close the valve. bring it to a boil, simmer covered for 1 hr and 10 minutes ( if they are large) We serve them with mayonaise. It is one of our favorite veggies.

I do whole artichokes pretty much the way the others do - steam and serve with garlic butter. Frozen or canned are good like this: thaw frozen, drain canned - place in oven proof dish, pour EVOO and lemon juice over, add chopped garlic, sprinkle with Italian flavored breadcrumbs and bake till bubbly. Mmmmm - enjoy!

Please tell me what EVOO is. Thanks

EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Don't drink really expensive wine whilst enjoying artichokes...they can change the taste and make it quite sweet....so choose a more acid wine variety.

Artichokes are very good just don't eat the inside middle of one because they have like little picker's and if you eat them they will stick in your throught but they are very tastie you boil them in salt water for like 1 hour until the peddles come off easy when they are done take them out of the water to drain you can melt some butter and dip the part you tore off in butter or you can get some mayonaise and dip in it they are so good for you lots of iron and the artichoke hearts are good in antipasto salads yummie
