Questions about Globe artichoke
How do you prepare a globe artichoke for cooking?
Trim the stem, pull off any tough outer leaves and snip off the thorny tips with kitchen scissors. Rub the cut surfaces with lemon to slow browning; keep the stem, peeled of its fibrous outer layer, as it is good to eat.
How long do you boil or steam a globe artichoke?
Simmer whole artichokes in salted, lemony water for about 25–40 minutes, or steam them for about 30–45 minutes, depending on size. They are ready when a leaf pulls away easily and a knife slips into the base.
How do you eat a whole cooked globe artichoke?
Pull off the leaves one at a time and scrape the soft flesh from the base of each leaf with your teeth. When you reach the fuzzy choke, scoop it away with a spoon to reveal the tender heart.
How do you choose and store fresh globe artichokes?
Choose a firm, compact artichoke with tightly closed leaves and a fresh-looking stem; a slight squeak when you squeeze it can be a sign of freshness. Keep it unwashed in a bag in the fridge and use it within a few days.
What do you serve with globe artichokes?
Serve boiled or steamed artichokes warm with melted butter, lemon or a garlicky vinaigrette for dipping. The cooked hearts also work in pasta, risotto and salads.
What can you use instead of globe artichoke hearts?
For a similar tender, savoury bite in pasta or salads, use canned artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed. Their texture is softer than freshly cooked hearts, so add them near the end of cooking.
Is globe artichoke a source of fibre?
Yes. Globe artichoke is high in fibre, with 8.3 g per 100 g.
