Do you mean small, fresh artichokes? Like, regular fresh artichokes, but small? If so, just wash them well, and put them in the pressure cooker with about 1/2 " - 3/4" of water, cook until tender. Or boil whole until bottoms are tender. then scrape everything off the "heart" until clean- leaves that size are not worth the trouble to eat. Hearts should be tender enough to smush with a fork. Meanwhile, saute some garlic (to taste) and salt with olive oil and butter (how much depends on how many hearts you have) in a non-stick pan on very low heat. VERY low - so nothing burns or turns brown. Mix togther well with hearts and spread on bread or pasta! Yum!
