Saw Artichokes when I was at the greengrocers today, couldn't help myself I had to buy one.
At home a quick search on the internet I found the recipe I was looking for, I think it's Julia's, at Serious Eats.
2 globe artichokes
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces and chilled
Juice of two lemons to make 1/4 cup
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pinch of white pepper (optional)
The only other thing I had to buy was the butter, another internet search to find how much a stick of butter weighed in grams - around 113g, a little less than half a pack.
It was my first time cooking and eating an Artichoke, I think I may have bought one before but had no idea what to do with it and ended up throwing it out.
I did find the lemon a bit overpowering, I ended up eating it with very little sauce and ground salt.
Very easy to make, time consuming to eat and not that filling, not for a one course lunch anyway. A couple of mini muffins and Tim Tams with a cup of tea helped with that.
