artichokeEither of two plants belonging to the sunflower family, parts of which are eaten as vegetables. The common or globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a form of thistle native to the Mediterranean. It is tall, with purplish-blue flowers; the leaflike structures (bracts) around the unopened flower are eaten. The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), which has edible tubers, is a native of North America (its common name is a corruption of the Italian for sunflower, girasole). (Family Compositae.) |

6 large globe artichokes 2 lemons, cut in half 3 cups extra virgin olive oil 2 bay leaves 1 tablespoon black peppercorns 1 head garlic, cloves separated, peeled and crushed Globe artichokes are not only edible; the plant they grow on is a majestic specimen, growing to 6 feet in height with deeply lobed silvery leaves. And I don't like how a microwave does globe artichokes, though baby artichokes, yes. |
