    This basic artichoke recipe is the perfect side dish as it complements almost any main course. It's flagrant and delicious. I used to shy away from artichokes because I did not know how to prepare them. Once I learned, I realized it was not so difficult and had missed out on such a great veggie! Hope you enjoy the recipe.

          artichokes are good any way. If you find young ones you can boil them in lemon water before cleaning them for 25 min. , then clean and quarter and then use them in a salad. It's even easier!
