BOILED WHOLE ARTICHOKES WITH MAYONNAISE
This method for preparing artichokes is so simple and so effective because it does one important thing: It accepts the bitter, thorny truth of the artichoke and doesn't try to fight against it. Instead of wrestling with the thing in order to prepare it for cooking, by trying to trim those tightly closed petals that stab your fingertips and leave them coated in a wretchedly bitter film, just leave the artichoke alone. Slice off the domed top, then drop the artichoke, stems and all, right into the boiling salted water and cook until tender. Once done and cool enough to handle, the artichoke is effortless to peel, revealing sweet flesh at the base of each leaf, and her large tender heart is yours for the taking.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil - large enough to submerge all four artichokes. Once the water is boiling, season it with salt to taste. Slice off the domed top quarter of the artichokes, remove the black tip of the stem and immediately place the artichokes in the boiling water. To cook the artichokes evenly and prevent them from bobbing at the surface, place a lid one size smaller than the pot you are using directly on top of the artichokes, weighing them down so they are submerged. Reduce the heat until the water is at a hard simmer, and cook the artichokes until you can easily pierce the bottom choke (where the stem meets the base) with a cake tester or the sharp tip of a thin knife with no resistance, 20 to 25 minutes.
- While artichokes cook, prepare the mayonnaise: Place the egg, egg yolks, garlic, lemon juice and two healthy pinches of salt in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Whiz for 5 seconds, then, with the machine on, slowly add about half the neutral oil in a thin, steady stream. Turn the machine off, and add 1 tablespoon cold water. Turn the machine back on, and finish adding the neutral oil in a steady stream. If mayonnaise is thick, blend in the remaining 1 tablespoon cold water. Mayonnaise should be light, satiny and silken. Taste the mayonnaise, and add salt as needed. Set aside at room temperature.
- Transfer the cooked artichokes to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, positioning them upside down to drain. Let stand at room temperature until they are cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Then remove the stems in an even cut, leaving the artichokes with a flat base. Peel the fibrous outer layer (and any strings) off the stems, cut the stems into 1/4-inch coins and reserve.
- Place the artichokes, stem side down, on a clean work surface. Gently open up the artichokes to reveal the inner leaves, using your fingers a little like the way you might open your own eye to receive drops, or even resembling the gesture you use to enlarge an image on your iPhone screen. Then pinch the whole purple and spiky choke at the center in one handful, and pluck it out, revealing the fuzzy hair that sits firmly attached in the cup of the heart. Remove this fuzz with your fingertip, or use a small spoon to scrape it away, taking care not to gouge or dig too deep into the goose-pimpled flesh.
- To assemble, place a healthy dollop of mayonnaise in the very center of each artichoke. Spoon in a few of the stem coins, then drizzle artichoke and mayonnaise with olive oil. Serve with additional mayonnaise and lemon wedges. (Any leftover mayonnaise will keep, refrigerated, up to 1 week.)
DIPPING SAUCE FOR ARTICHOKES
A boyfriend's mother taught me this great dipping sauce for artichokes and asparagus. It's somewhat like aioli. Replace dried basil for fresh, and garlic salt for the garlic. If you do use dried basil, cut the original amount in half. Use low-fat mayonnaise if you like.

GARLIC ARTICHOKES
This is now the only way I will be making artichokes. I love the ease of preparation and the perfect texture of the finished artichoke..not too mushy and not too hard. I never before thought of cutting the artichoke in half to make it super easy to remove the choke, and it cooks in half the time as well. Try this recipe if you love artichokes, and you won't be disappointed. Be careful to keep enough liquid in the braising pan so the artichokes don't burn. This is a tip I'm sharing out of experience!!

Steps:
- Cut off the stems of the artichokes.
- With a sharp knife (I find a serated knife works well) cut off the top 1/3 of the artichoke.
- Immediately rub the cuts with a lemon quarter, squeezing a little juice on the cuts to keep it from turning brown.
- Now cut each artichoke in half through the stem, from the top to the bottom.
- Use a spoon and/or a knife to completely remove the hairy choke and all the prickly purple leaves inside the artichoke.
- Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan.
- Add the garlic and saute over medium low heat to flavor the butter.
- Arrange the artichoke halves cut side down in the pan.
- Saute for about 5 minutes or so, until just lightly browned.
- Add the wine and the seasonings.
- Reduce heat to very low, cover the pan, and let cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- CHECK THE PAN AFTER 9 OR 10 MINUTES TO BE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH LIQUID IN THE PAN TO PREVENT BURNING.
- ADD MORE WINE IF NEEDED.
- Test the doneness of the artichokes by piercing with a fork.
- It should penetrate easily.
- Serve the artichoke halves with the rest of the melted butter in a small dish and flavored with as many dashes of hot sauce as you like.
- Dip the leaves and the delicious heart in the butter and enjoy.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH CURRY DIPPING SAUCE
A mayonnaise sauce with a little different twist. I was surprised and pleased to find that the typical seasonings in curries work so well with artichokes. Hope you enjoy this. (Low fat mayo works fine in this recipe, but bottled lemon juice doe not - use fresh squeezed) Note: the sauce is highly seasoned. If you wish a milder sauce, reduce all spices to half.

Steps:
- To make the mayonnaise, warm the uncracked eggs in a small bowl of hot tap water for 3 minutes. In a blender, combine the egg, mustard, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a 2 cup glass measuring cup, mix the vegetable and olive oils. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the combined oils (it should take at least 1 minutes) to make a thick mayonnaise. Scrape the mayonnaise into a bowl. Stir in the basil and garlic, then 1 tablespoon hot water. Set aside. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together 2 quarts cold water and the vinegar. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, and using a large, sharp knife, cut off the stem flush with the base. Pull of any damage outer leaves, then cut 1 inch off the top. Using kitchen shears, snip off any remaining thorny leaf tips, then submerge in the vinegar water. When all the artichokes are trimmed, drain them and add to the boiling water. Cover and cook until the tough leaves at the bottom of an artichoke can be easily removed, about 40 minutes, depending on the size of the artichoke. Using tongs, transfer the artichokes, upside down to a colander to let drain. Serve the artichokes warm or at room temperature, with the mayonnaise for dipping.
