Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 He is such a gadget-head lol but I like his show. When I steam mine I do them in a couple of inches of water until a leaf pulls out easily. Smaller (fist size) chokes cook faster, usually 20-30 minutes, larger chokes (double fist size) about 45 minutes. Peace, Diane , Kim Hoffman <scarlettvivian wrote: > > How would I cook an artichoke?

Never tried them roasted; sounds very interesting!! It's about the same for steaming, except you don't cut in half. However, if you use a pressure cooker they're done in 15-20 minutes minutes rather than 45. Quote
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Are artichoke hearts that come in a jar raw?? N www.hlsnp.com Quote
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Great question!But I would say that artichokes in a jar are Not raw. Unless it is dried, raw foods really don't have a shelf life. Any other opinions?BTW I was busted about my chocolate comment. I was reminded about Lara bars that have some awesome flavors!Lay-tahSkaiSent from my BlackBerry wireless handheld.Fri, 5 Dec 2008 18:34:38 -0500 artichoke Are artichoke hearts that come in a jar raw??N www.hlsnp.com Quote
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 I wouldn't think so Nancy. To me, they seem to have been at least steamed and accompanied by some form of preservative. Artichokes have always interested me and I agonized over how to prepare them for raw consumption. They are just too tough for me in their natural state. I'd appreciate a raw recipe for them myself. , <pnparlette wrote: > > Are artichoke hearts that come in a jar raw?? > N > > > > www.hlsnp.com <http://www.hlsnp.com/> <outbind://2/www.HLSNP.com> > Quote

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Celebrate spring with an artichoke salad Fresh (uncooked) artichokes, trimmed down to the tenderest part of leaves, heart, and stem, are thinly sliced into a salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and spring onions. A handful of Greek olives, olive oil, and lemon juice add the finishing touch to this elegant salad. Prep Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: · 2 fresh artichokes · 2 lemons · juice of 2 lemons · 1 teaspoon of sea salt · 1 tomato, cut in chunks · 1 small cucumber, peeled and sliced · 4 leaves of Romaine lettuce, washed, dried, and shredded · 1 large spring onion, trimmed, washed, sliced · extra virgin olive oil Preparation: Trim off all but 1 inch of the artichoke stem. Trim off outer green leaves, leaving internal yellow leaves. Trim off top 1/2 to 1 inch of the leaves with needles. Cut artichokes in half to reveal the choke. Cut in half again. Rub each piece with lemon. With a sharp knife, cut out choke and discard. Cut artichoke into long very thin slices, place in a bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Toss to coat well. Sprinkle the tomato and cucumber with salt and place in a large salad bowl. Add lettuce, spring onions, and artichoke slices, along with a little lemon juice from the bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, toss, and taste. If the taste is too lemony, add a little more oil. Toss in a handful of green Greek olives, and serve. Yield: serves 4 On Behalf Of E.
