Steps:
- With a serrated knife, cut off the top 1 1/2 inches of each artichoke. Cut or break off the stems flush with the bottoms and remove the outer two rows of leaves. Rub cut surfaces with the lemon half as you work. Place the trimmed artichokes in a glass or ceramic dish large enough to hold them without touching. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 10 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
- Remove from oven and uncover. Cover the dish with a damp cloth until artichokes are cool enough to handle. Push down on the leaves to make a flower shape and to expose the pale center leaves covering the fuzzy choke. Pull out the cone of center leaves, and with a small spoon, scrape out the choke. Allow to cool. Cover tightly, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, brandy, water, lemon juice and pepper until smooth. Stir in salmon roe and chives. Refrigerate until cold.
- Place each artichoke bottom on a plate. Spoon some of the sauce into the heart and around each artichoke, and serve.

POT-ROASTED ARTICHOKES WITH WHITE WINE AND CAPERS
In this dish, the fleshy artichokes get browned and crispy tops and look like strange, beautiful roses. The acidity in the white wine cuts through the rich, dense veg and, along with the salty pops from the capers, highlights the artichokes' unique herbaceousness.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy pot (wide enough to hold the artichokes with room to spare) over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke. Stand the artichokes cut sides down in the oil, wait a minute, then reduce the heat to medium-low, sprinkle in the garlic and salt, and cook, without stirring, just until the garlic turns golden and smells toasty, about 3 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the wine, cover the pot, and cook, without stirring, at a vigorous simmer until you can insert a sharp knife into the thick artichoke bottoms with barely any resistance, about 25 minutes. Five minutes or so before they're fully tender, remove the lid and scatter on the capers.
- Raise the heat to medium-high, and bring the liquid to a boil. Cook until all the wine has evaporated (the bubbling sound will become a sizzle), about 3 minutes. Add the mint and parsley and keep cooking the artichokes in the oil (it's OK if a few of them tip over), until the cut sides of the artichokes are deep golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat if necessary to prevent the artichokes from getting too dark.
- Arrange the artichokes prettily on a plate, and scoop the capers, oil, and slightly crispy herbs over top. Serve straightaway or at room temperature.
- Turning Artichokes
- I suppose some people might find it a bother, but I quite like turning artichokes. It's like an advanced version of shelling peas-similarly meditative and even a bit fun. Choosing artichokes whose leaves don't move much when you pinch the tops will make your life a bit easier, because typically they have smaller chokes or sometimes none at all.
- Fill a big bowl with water and squeeze in the juice of a lemon. Working with one artichoke at a time, pluck off and discard the green leaves until only the soft yellowish leaves are left. Cut off about 1/2 inch of the stem. Use a peeler or small knife to trim away the tough green stuff at the base of the artichoke. Take a peek at the cut end of the stem. You'll see a pale green circle surrounded by a darker border. Peel the stem, getting as close as you can to the pale green center. Drop the artichoke into the lemony water (to prevent discoloration). Repeat with the remaining artichokes.
- Cut about 1 inch from the tip of each artichoke, then use a small spoon to scoop out and discard the feathery choke. Gently squeeze each artichoke over the bowl as you go, and set them cut sides down on paper towels to drain for about 5 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose fresh artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size, with tightly closed leaves and no blemishes.
- Trim the artichokes properly: Cut off the stem and about 1 inch of the top of the artichoke. Remove the tough outer leaves until you reach the pale green, tender leaves.
- Cook the artichokes thoroughly: Artichoke caviar is best when the artichokes are cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a sharp knife: When chopping the artichokes, use a sharp knife to ensure that you get clean, even cuts.
- Season to taste: Artichoke caviar is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
Conclusion:
Artichoke caviar is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or even a main course. With its unique flavor and texture, artichoke caviar is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy artichokes, give this recipe a try.
