And sharing a giant artichoke can certainly be an icebreaker. Clip the leaves with scissors if they have thorns; slice off the top third and even the bottom so that it stands. Rub the cut parts with lemon, then steam over boiling water until a leaf comes easily free when tugged, about 45 minutes. Don't just limit yourself to melted butter and plain mayonnaise. Serve with any number of sauces, allowing about 1/4 cup per person, in individual bowls. Try extra virgin olive oil seasoned with sea salt and freshly ground pepper; one of the flavored mayonnaises, yogurt sauces, Cilantro Salsa, Salsa Verde, or Herb-Butter and Olive Oil Sauce or Green Goddess Dressing (see separate recipes). Have an extra bowl on the table for the finished leaves. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
