These lovely artichokes should have been put in a vase. I just don't have luck with this particular vegetable. The first time I had one (in a restaurant and not from the jar), I feigned that I knew how to eat them, shoving the whole leaf in my mouth (of course, I was on a date).
And, today, I tried to trim them in hopes of creating a new dish. I looked in vain for their heart and ended up with a hairy mess of spines and leaves.
The only thing salvageable....a lovely still life?
tadinha de vc! I guess I'll stop by next time you buy artichokes and help you find the heart (but you must cook them first!).
