Re: Share Your Easy Recipes with the 21 Year Old
Here's a VERY easy appetizer that makes you look like you know what your doing.
1. Buy an artichoke
2. Wash artichoke and place in boiling water.
3. Boil for 10-15 minutes until artichoke leaves (I guess that's what they are) start to soften and peel back a little.
4. Melt some butter
5. Take artichoke out of water. Let sit until it's no longer extremely hot. Pull leaves off, dip and butter and scrape the bottom part on the inside of the leaf off with your teeth.
6. It's pretty tasty, and you don't have to worry about eating the wrong part because everything else aside from the pulpy/meaty part at the bottom won't come off.
Obviously it's not a meal, but it does make a nice side dish. Additionally, most chicks have never had artichoke made (if you can even call it that) for them so it's a plus.
