How do you cook artichokes?

Answer

This is the way I usually cook my artichokes. In a bowl, combine 1 cup olive oil and lemon juice. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, trim off the tough green outer leaves until you see the tender yellow leaves. Using a paring knife, trim off about 1 inch from the top until the center is visible. Cut away the stem and dark green exterior. Cut the artichoke in half lengthwise and scoop out the furry choke from the center and add the artichoke halves to the bowl. In a large soup pot over medium heat, warm enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until the artichokes are tender when pierced with a fork, 18 to 20 minutes.
