Method

  • step 1

    Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil with the lemon halves. Cut the stalk off the artichokes. Drop them into the water and boil for 40-45 mins.

  • step 2

    Dice the butter. Pour the wine into a pan, reduce by half, reduce heat and whisk in the butter one small piece at a time. Whisk in the Parmesan and lemon juice.

  • step 3

    To eat, pull off the leaves, dip the broken end into the sauce, eat this and discard the rest. When you reach the middle, lift out the central leaves, scrape away the hairy choke and eat the artichoke heart.

We grow artichokes in our garden because we enjoy eating them so much (very easy to grow and a super, statuesque plant), and I always use the pressure cooker to cook them - so much easier than boiling them for 40 minutes!

I haven't tried the sauce, but being a big fan of globe artichokes I thought of sharing a typical Italian dip: 4 parts of extra-virgin olive oil, 1 part of white wine vinegard (balsamic will work too) and sea salt in grains. Stir all the ingredients together but don't let the salt dissolve…

Tried globe artichokes for the first time yesterday and was surprised at how tasty and easy to prepare they were. I made a very simple and decandant sauce of melted butter finished with a sprinkle of sea salt and they were great.
