how do u cook whole articokes?

Answer 1

Wash artichokes under cold running water. Cut off stem at base; remove small bottom leaves. If desired, trim tips of leaves and cut off top two inches. Stand artichokes upright in deep, nonreactive saucepan large enough to hold snugly. Add 1 teaspoon salt and two to three inches boiling water. Cover and boil gently 35 to 45 minutes or until base can be pierced easily with a fork. (Add a little more boiling water, if needed.) Turn artichokes upside down to drain. Serve immediately or cool completely; cover and refrigerate to chill.

We like to dip the leaves in drawn butter and pull between our teeth to get the pulp out of the leaf until we get down to the heart. The closer to the heart you get the better the taste. (don't eat the fuzz)
