The marketeer called me this week to tell me she and her husband, the lawyer, had bags of artichokes, and would I want to come help them "put up" the 'chokes? Certo! Especially since I'd never had a chance to do artichokes before. Off I went, jars and St. Helena olive oil in hand.
We did two batches: one brined and the other in olive oil. Both types will be ready in about 3 weeks. It was incredibly easy - most of the time spent was in preparing the artichokes. The lawyer - who grew up in artichoke farmland - showed me how to trim them properly so they aren't tough or bitter.
Next time I want to do some whole baby artichokes - anyone have any recipes they like?
