Purple Artichoke

The purple artichoke has tightly-packed, meaty leaves and offers a sweeter flavor than conventional artichokes. To prepare artichokes like the purple artichoke, remove one inch from the top and a half inch from the bottom and pull back the tightly packed leaves. Sit in a bowl of water with lemon until ready to prepare; this will keep it from browning while cooking. To cook, steam the purple artichoke whole. The leaves are plucked to reveal the fuzzy “choke” at the center of the vegetable. This is scooped out to expose the meaty center “heart” which runs down a portion of the stem. Purple artichoke hearts can be added to pizzas, salads, pastas and many other dishes. Artichokes are often served alone with an aioli dipping sauce or they can be stuffed.
