I have always wanted to try them but did not know how to cook them. I will have to give this a try. I have never eaten an artichoke, well I bought some that were pickeled and did not care for them.

One way to cook them is in a casserole with peas.You saute onions and when they are brown you add the artichokes, after you clean them and cut them in half.You put little water 1 and a half cup, and you let boiled a little bit. You dissolve 2 tablespoons tomato paste in a half cup water and you add that to the artichokes.Some salt and pepper for seasoning and you clean and cut some medium potatoes 6-7 of them and add 3-4 cups water.Let them simmering for about 45 minutes , medium fire and at the end you put in the pot the peas.You let them cook together for another 30 minutes. When they are ready close the heat and let them cool 10-15 minutes. You serve that dish with feta cheese . Delicious. Try it . If you like artichokes you are going to love this dish. Oh!

Not sure what the big deal was after all. I road tested my first attempt with a mini artichoke and fennel lasagna with artichoke sauce instead of the bechamel sauce as a starter for Easter lunch. It was SO good, and it's all coz of you. I believe I am forever in your debt :-) SK – Thanks to you and this fantastic post, I have now conquered my fear/confusion of preparing artichokes.

My hands were so sore and tired I wasn't sure if i could get thru the 4 artichokes that I used. After the dinner was over I realized that i had forgotten to serve them!!! I can't believe it. Well, now they are mine to eat. I took the time to make these yesterday for our passover seder. My hands were so sore and tired I wasn’t sure if i could get thru the 4 artichokes that I used.

My mom got me started on 'em young. But sadly, like you, we're on the east coast with limited artichoke goodness. Some stores have the audacity of putting artichokes out that are obviously not good ones to eat! The nerve! We've always just steamed them and dipped them in butter, but I might have to expand my artichoke horizons :) mmmmm LOVE artichokes too! My mom got me started on ‘em young.

How did your feed email thingy fail to send me this post?! See, I became smitten with you and your kitchen when I read through your archives of your deep and abiding love for all things artichokey; I love these weird little food thistles with a fervor I usually try to reserve only for human beings who could return the favor. So it seems a cruel twist that I have not received my regular email for this post! Thank goodness I saw your tweet about the lack of artichoke love. The two gigantic globe artichokes I bought yesterday are probably destined for a simple steam, but I think I will try this recipe with the next batch of baby artichokes I find. Gorgeous. Oh my.

We ate the liquid too, I think. Or -- now I remember -- tossed it with the pasta a bit. I bet you could reduce it into a nice sauce, if you strained it after. Glad you liked it!
