About our ‘chokes.  We like to pick them young so they don’t have the spiky “choke” in the middle.  If you’re a total beginner, check this link out, it’ll give you some good pointers.   Steaming Artichokes is generally the simplest route.  Steaming involves little water it helps retain the artichoke’s nutrients while cooking.  Place artichokes in a vegetable steamer with a lemon wedge and steam 35-45 minutes depending on how tender you like the leaves.  Enjoy warm or chilled.
