Globe artichoke

< Local and seasonal recipes

Delicious when cooked soon after harvesting from a kitchen garden, allotment, community garden, etc.

Ingredients

 * Globe artichokes

Optional:
 * butter / veg or vegan alternative
 * salt

Preparation
Trim off most of the stem, then cut across the top to remove the hard and spiky bits of the leaves.

Method
Boil for between 30 and 45 mins.

Serve
With the butter and a little salt if desired. The artichoke is eaten by separating off a leaf at a time then dipping its base in the salted butter.
