Such a handsome little artichoke don't you think? Or maybe it's more pretty than handsome. Either way, I can assure you that it was yu-ummy.
This little veg puts a lot into looking tough with it's prehistoric exterior and prickly choke, but it's really painless to make. Not everyone at the table was brave enough to get over the appearance though. Jason, after watching me peel away layer after layer just to arrive at the prickly choke- gave up and passed his to me. No argument here - the more for me the merrier.
The recipe was a simple mixture of herbs, garlic and lemon rubbed generously over the trimmed artichoke globes. It was so simple I almost decided to skip it and find something more exciting. I'm glad I didn't.
