Cook the Issue 2010: Steamed Artichokes with Mustard Vinaigrette

Why yes, I did score some artichokes on sale this week, thanks to one of our Chicago Italian Markets. So I have been cooking my way through the entire Artichokes article in Issue 104. Good stuff! That said, that last time I made a steamed artichoke, I did not like it and this time my reaction was the same. So, no fault to this recipe, but steamed artichokes are just not my thing. So, if you are looking at the artichoke article, my recommendation is to make the fritatta-- that was excellent! For this recipe, I did save the excess vinaigrette and will use it on a salad-- it was quite tasty in its own right.

Recipe Used: Steamed Artichokes with Tarragon Mustard Vinaigrette

Just a side note, DH waits until I get to the heart and then dives in.

I haven't had much luck buying teleggio, but when I place my order at the Italian store, I will remember to do that as well. Posted: 9:43 am on April 22nd
