Springtime Sensations, Part III: Artichokes

15 May, 2018

Artichokes get a raw deal. Odd-looking and inaccessible, they’re like the armadillo of the vegetable world. Personally, though, they’re among my favourite foods. Their delicate yet robust flavour is impossible to describe but addictively moreish – a combination of bitter and nutty, it only requires a dash of good olive oil to bring it out into the open. What’s more, there’s a wealth of history and heritage lying behind the humble choke. For such an unassuming vegetable, they have a
