Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Use a knife to slice off the bottom 1/2-inch (or more, if you'd like) of the artichoke stems, and the top 1 inch of the artichoke globes (the leaves on top). Remove and discard any small leaves toward the bottoms of the stems. Rinse the artichokes with water.
- Slice the artichokes in half vertically. Use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy "choke" in the middle of the artichoke. Then use kitchen shears to trim about 1/4/-inch off the pointy tips of each of the artichoke leaves (so that they don't poke you when you eat them). Rub a lemon wedge all over the entire surface of each artichoke half, to prevent browning.
- Place the artichoke halves in a baking dish or on a baking sheet cut-side-up. Brush the cut sides of the artichokes evenly with the olive oil. Then fill the cavities evenly with the garlic, followed by a few small sprigs of the fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Flip the artichokes over, using the herbs to help hold in the garlic, so that they are cut-side-down. Brush the tops of the artichokes with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Then remove and cover the pan with aluminum foil, and bake for an additional 25-35 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender and the leaves pull off easily.
- Place the tray on a cooling rack. Carefully remove, discard the herbs (or stir them into your dipping sauce for extra flavor), and drizzle the artichokes with extra lemon juice.
- Serve the roasted artichokes warm with your desired dipping sauce.
ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON ROSEMARY SAUCE
This is my favorite way to prepare fresh artichokes. It's terribly easy and perfectly delicious! Goes great with Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, especially Greek food. But equally tasty with many other foods.

Steps:
- Remove stems from artichokes and cut off the top third.
- Cut artichokes in half, lengthwise, and scrape out the woody"choke" (using a spoon or knife is good, but I like a tomato shark); trim away rough purple tips from inside.
- Remove the lower outermost leaves and trim the prickly part off the top of the remaining leaves.
- Rinse and drain artichokes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet, and place artichokes cut-side-down in the pan.
- Add chicken broth and wine to the pan, then bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are fork-tender.
- While the artichokes are cooking, prepare the sauce.
- Heat the butter in a small saucepan and add the rosemary and cook until lightly fragrant.
- Add half the remaining chicken broth, and stir to mix.
- In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolks, lemon juice, cornstarch, and remaining chicken broth.
- Pour a slight amount of hot broth into the eggs to temper it, whisking well.
- Return egg yolk mixture to the saucepan, and whisk over low heat until sauce thickens, about 5-8 minutes.
- Serve the sauce over the cooked artichokes, or as a dipping sauce, whichever you prefer.
- To eat artichokes, remove leaves and run the leaf through your closed teeth, bottom end first, scraping off the flesh.
- When all the leaves are gone, the remaining heart is totally edible.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Fill a large bowl with water and squeeze juice from two lemon halves into water. Cut off artichoke stems, peel them with a vegetable peeler, rub them all over with remaining lemon half (this prevents browning) and drop them into water.
- Use a heavy, sharp knife to cut top 1 1/2 inches off an artichoke. Pull out pale inner leaves from center. At the bottom, where leaves were, is a furry bed, the choke. Use a spoon (a grapefruit spoon works wonderfully) to scoop out choke. Next, using kitchen shears or a pair of scissors, trim pointy ends from outer leaves of artichoke. As you work, rub lemon half over cut parts of artichoke. When you are finished trimming, drop artichoke into bowl of lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
- To prepare stuffing, in a large bowl combine lemon zest, bread crumbs, Parmesan, chopped parsley and rosemary. Mince 6 garlic cloves and add to bowl. Finely chop one carrot and add to bowl along with capers, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss.
- In a small roasting pan or baking pan large enough to hold artichokes, scatter onion slices. Add reserved artichoke stems, 4 sprigs parsley and remaining garlic cloves. Slice remaining carrot into rounds and add to pan.
- Holding artichokes over stuffing bowl, stuff choke cavity and in between the leaves with bread crumb mixture. Stand stuffed artichokes upright in pan and generously drizzle olive oil over center of each artichoke.
- Fill pan with water until it reaches 1/4 way up the artichokes. Add wine and remaining salt and pepper to water. Cover pan with foil and poke several holes in foil. Bake artichokes for about 1 1/2 hours, or until tender; when done, a knife should be easily inserted into artichoke and a leaf should be easily pulled out.

CHICKEN-ARTICHOKE PASTA WITH ROSEMARY
I've been making this recipe for years. I don't even remember where I got it from but it's become a favorite of family and friends. The preparation takes a bit of time because there is a lot of chopping, but once thats done it goes together quite quickly. The recipe calls for the packaged refrigerated fresh fettuccine, but I've substituted dry pasta on occasion and it is still delicious. All it needs to make it a deliciious meal is a side salad and garlic bread.

Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add chicken, and cook 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Removed chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add onion, garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms, artichoke hearts and rosemary to Dutch oven; saute 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Drain and remove from Dutch oven.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, wine and cream cheese to Dutch oven. Reduce heat to low, stir until cream cheese is completely melted, then gradually whisk in nonfat milk. Add chicken, vegetables, cooked fettuccine and Parmesan cheese, tossing gently.
Tips:
- Choose fresh artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size, with tightly closed leaves and no signs of bruising or wilting.
- Prepare the artichokes properly: Trim the stem and remove the tough outer leaves, leaving only the tender inner leaves and the heart. Cut the artichokes in half or quarters, depending on their size.
- Cook the artichokes until tender: Steam, boil, or roast the artichokes until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a combination of olive oil, garlic, shallots, herbs, and spices to create a flavorful sauce that complements the artichokes.
- Serve the artichokes hot or cold: Artichokes can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference. They are delicious as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.
Conclusion:
Artichokes with rosemary sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
