Steps:
- Using a sharp paring knife, trim the outermost layer of leaves from each artichoke. Trim stems, and cut off top half of each artichoke. As you trim them, place them in a medium bowl; add lemon juice, and toss to coat.
- Transfer artichokes to a medium nonreactive saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover artichokes by 1 inch. Using a small heat-proof plate, weigh down the artichokes to keep them submerged. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer artichokes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain.
- Cut artichokes in half lengthwise. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add artichokes in a single layer, and cook until hot, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute longer. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bend the outer leaves of the artichokes back until they snap off close to the base and remove several more layers of leaves in the same manner until the white inner leaves are reached. Trim the tips and quarter the artichokes. In a small bowl toss the artichokes with the flour and salt and black pepper to taste. In a skillet heat the oil with the garlic over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking and cook the garlic until it is softened. Add the artichokes and sauté them over moderately high heat, stirring, for 6 minutes. Stir in the rosemary, the oregano, the basil, and the lemon juice and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine, the red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste and simmer the mixture, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the artichokes are very tender. Add the parsley and boil the mixture, uncovered, over high heat for 1 minute, or until it is thickened slightly.

Steps:
- Rinse artichokes under cold water, and use a sharp knife to cut the top 1/3 off of each one. Trim the stems to about 1 inch, and remove the smaller leaves from around the base. Use scissors to remove any remaining leaf tips. Cut each artichoke in half from the bottom to the top, then use a spoon to scrape out the hairy choke. Rinse again to remove any residual hairs.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and saute for about 1 minute to flavor the butter. Arrange artichoke halves cut-side down in the skillet. Saute for about 5 or 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Reduce heat to low, and pour in about 1/4 cup of water, cover, and let steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender. A fork should easily pierce the stem.

Tips:
- To prepare the baby artichokes, trim the stems and remove the tough outer leaves until you reach the tender, light-colored heart. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and remove the fuzzy choke with a spoon.
- For the oven-dried tomatoes, slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) for 3-4 hours, or until the tomatoes are dry and shriveled.
- To make the green olive dressing, combine the green olives, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and garlic in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- When sautéing the baby artichokes, cook them over medium heat until they are tender and slightly browned. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the artichokes will steam instead of sauté.
- Serve the sautéed baby artichokes immediately, topped with the oven-dried tomatoes, green olive dressing, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
