Re: Artichokes Help
[ QUOTE ]
I love artichokes and have prepared them in various ways: boiled in a large pot of salted water, steamed, and grilled. I've also tried any number of accompanying sauces: homemade herbed mayonaise, citrusy sauces, various vinaigrettes, herbed butter sauces, lemon butter sauces, etc. I haven't hit on the perfect combination. Please share how you make and serve your artichokes.

A very old (perhaps as old as ancient Rome) and famous way of preparing artichokes is Carciofi alla Giudia -- Jewish-Style Artichokes. Essentially these are artichokes fried in oil. Any comprehensive Italian cookbook should have a recipe.
