[quote=Anonymous]So I attempted to cook artichokes yesterday for the first time (boiling). I googled around for instructions, but failed miserably. What did I do wrong? This is what I did: - cut off top 3/4" and stem - remove most of the outer leaves, and trim those that were pinchy - rinse - boiled in lightly salted water for about 35 minute (this was a softball sized artichoke), until it was easy to stick a fork all the way through (like a potato) - once cooled, I tried to cut out portions that were edible. But all the leaves were too tough to chew - like corn husk (despite soft to cut/fork) - the only edible portion was the heart. A measly 1-2 tablespoon worth of food. Please tell me I can get more out of a large artichoke than 1-2 tablespoons worth of its heart :( [/quote]
