What is the best way to prepare an Artichoke for cooking?
The best way to begin preparing an Artichoke for cooking is by running it under cold water, and then trimming off a small portion of the top and end of the stem. If you’d like, you can also use a pair of scissors to trim the rest of the Artichoke petals. Don’t forget to run over any cut ends with lemon juice to prevent oxidation! Once, you’ve completed these steps, your Artichoke is ready to cook.
