Artichokes!
Artichokes are a delicious and intriguing vegetable whose season is apparently like, right now.
I got inspired by my sister Melissa who made them in the most simple and delicate way for me over the weekend: steam, peel, and eat. She did whip up a delicious dipping sauce as well which was wonderful.
I attempted to recreate her method but was met with some difficulty pretty much immediately. Trader Joe’s had no artichokes. Acme had some, but they were brown and nassstyyyyy looking. I will continue my hunt today, but my resources are limited (see: I’m on foot).
Maybe it should be noted that one of my favorite “I’m broke” meals is pasta with some garlic salt, butter, and marinated artichokes tossed in with some parm (or whatever Italian cheese is on hand) shredded on top. Not the most fancy, but damn good if you ask me.
They are one of my favorites for their versatility and obviously their yummy taste, so if you’ve got any recipes please share!
