The artichoke, long considered a mysterious delicacy, is available year-round.
Artichokes have a subtle, sweet and somewhat nutty flavor.
Try this deliciously unique vegetable broiled, steamed, stuffed, or marinated. Any way they're prepared, you'll find them uniquely captivating. When selecting artichokes, look for compact globes which feel heavy, plump and look fresh. Avoid any which have loose or spreading leaves. During spring months artichokes should be bright green.
