[quote=Anonymous]Artichokes - trim stem so the artichoke will sit flat and then cut off the top of the artichoke below the thorn-end of the leaves. You can do this all at one level with a knife, but I like to trim the leaves with kitchen shears - it takes a little more time, but is much easier. Place artichoke, stem side down, in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of water, drizzle top of artichoke with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and some herbs (whatever you want - this is totally optional). Cover artichoke with plastic and microwave 4-5 minutes, until leaves easily pull from center. Eat the tender part of leaves - dipped into mayo or butter if you want - then the heart. To prepare the heart, trim away all remaining leaves and stem, then use a spoon to gently scrape off the "ahir". You are left with the heart, which is well worth the effort![/quote]
