Self proclaimed Chef Michael here. I have been eating artichokes for over 40 years. I have come across some delicious ways to prepare them. Instead of boiling the artichoke, steam it using chicken broth in a pressure cooker for 16-18 minutes (start the timer after the 1st steam release that indicates you have the pot pressurized, approximately 2-4 minutes after stove is lit, 16 mins for small to medium 18 for large size) For dips, my favorite 4 are of my own design, (1)a butter dip: butter, molly McButter flakes, onion powder, onion, and salt. in pan add the onion, melt butter, and rest of ingredients mixed in (2) Lemon Curry: Mayo, Jamaican curry powder, salt, onion powder, 1/2 a juiced lemon, lemon zest (3) White Grape Balsamic: Reduce 1 cup of White Balsamic vinegar with rosemary and thyme for 20 minutes, let cool, and salt & pepper to taste preference and last (4) Mustard dip: Equal parts Honey, Dijon, Brown mustard, Grain Mustard seed in white wine, and Chinese Hot Mustard (store made not in packets)

Best example of removing the choke I've seen. Now I would try making these.

Finally! Someone who appreciates the entire artichoke. It kills me to see when people cut off and discard the leaves and stem. Boiling it long makes it almost entirely edible. My fave prep so far! Thanks!

I usually eat pickled artichoke hearts because they are the best part and getting the meat out of an artichoke takes a lot of effort... but if I am eating a fresh artichoke, I always save the stem. That is all pure edible goodness right there, in a plant that makes you work hard to find something you can digest so why would you throw it away?

Every Saturday I like to drink red wine and eat artichokes, then sail around the Greek islands looking for cyclopes.

Here's how to do it my way. When the time is right, cut the artichokes from the plant and trim them at the base of the flower head. Steam them for about 35 minutes. During this time, press two cloves of garlic into a bowl with a few tablespoons of olive oil, let that rest and make two simple tortillas or slice some sourdough and heat it in the oven. Get your friend to open a bottle of chilled Chablis. When the steaming is done, plunge the artichokes into a bowl of cold water with the juice of two lemons for a couple of minutes. This will cool them down and stop them from discolouring. Sit down and remove the outer leaves, scraping the fleshy bit out with your teeth as you go like a pair of Neanderthals - you don't need to add anything to the flavour - it's perfect on its own. When you get to the middle, break the hearts in two and gently take out the hairy choke. It will just come away quite easily. Loosely chop and slightly mash the hearts with the garlicky oil and spoon onto the tortillas, adding a squeeze of lemon and a little salt.

Nice to see a chef who doesn't throw out the stalk.

Best video ever of a easy and proper way to prepare Artichokes. I love it. Thank you 😊

I always cook or boil my artichokes with SWEET CORN. (1 flower for 1 corn). NO SUGAR ADDED. Then I drink the juice of it after cooking. Very yummy drink, nice smell, addictive taste and of course stay healthy. The drink make me calm and very relaxing all day Drink artichokes helps my "HEEL PAIN" goes away

Best video on artichokes .. a lot of other videos show cutting off the whole stem

Easiest way I’ve seen to remove the choke - thank you!

Wow, you made that easy and looks very good. Gonna to try it your way right now. Gotta find your sauce now. Thank you.

I LOVE Artichoke...it's great ....Thanks TigerChef for your knowledge..

Thank you, Tiger Chef. I will enjoy my Artichoke.

Having been looking for a video to show me how to eat the darn thing! Thank you!

Was it just me I wanted to see him enjoy each piece lol

I like this chef. He prepared the Artichoke in the best way. The inside of the leaves taste too good to just throw away. The choke was nicely removed. I loved this video.

You got the best video

perfect editing!

Great video, thanks!

Thank you!!

Best prep so far that I’ve ever seen, in video or person!!

thanks bro this worked well... cheers...

Glad to see you leave the stem on, I always eat most of the stem, it gets just as buttery, also, I don’t even cut the tips, plus I steam them instead of boiling.

Very nice video - thank you.

Thank you for sharing this video. Artichokes have always intimidated me. With your clear, concise instructions, I think I’m ready to give them a try. I’m definitely subscribing to your channel as well. Blessed be!

Pretty!

3:30 so satisfying

Great video.

Can you let us know of more Artichoke dips to use?

What can we so whith the water of my aryichpkes ? Is tjere any benefit from it. ? And thanx for your recipie

Soo good....!

Great video and simplicity in explaining how it is done. Thanks for sharing. ;-) Its 6 am and here I am already preparing this dish. ;-) Curiosity only though: Have you ever tried this with oranges instead of lemons or limes? Never done or seen it done before, but just a curiosity question for you and anyone viewing.

+1 Thank you well done.

It's a pleasure to watch you explaining, keep on the good work, thanks

I appreciate the data I received However when I when to proceed froward and cooking them. My lady friend jsd put them in my fridge snd it's like a freezer in temperature sp tjey were so brown that I was unable to cook th and enjoy the feast.thanks

this is exactly how we cook and eat it in Morocco. this video brings childhood memories to me

Fascinating ingredient, no matter how it's served or prepared! It's like if vegetables had venom glands.

How would I make this if I want to stuff the artichoke with breadcrumbs? My Dad and I tried and it seems the artichoke was not cooked enough? Thanks

Very nice, but I prefer to stuff mine. I also peel the stem, cut it off right to the bottom, chop it up and add it to the breadcrumb, cheese, garlic and parsley stuffing. Add olive oil to mixture to moisten it. You can also add a bit of broth or white wine. Open the raw choke, spread the leaves and stuff in the leaves and the middle. I cook in the pressure cooker....6 chokes, 13 minutes... Done !! Put a bit of olive oil on the tops just before you cook them. If you bake them it will take about an hour and 15 minutes, till you can pierce the heart with a fork, or pull a leaf out easily from inside. Make your dip and Enjoy. !! Thanks

Thank you, I just see this as I want to boil my frozen artichoke

Are can and jar healthy as well?

I love you tiger chef

Really this is a tutorial on how to prepare and cook, present artichokes, not 'make artichokes'. The choke is the seeds, the heart is the plate of the flower. Thistle is the family of this plant. Nice tutorial for what it is about cooking the plant. Tx.

What are the ingredients of the butter dipping sauce?

Very good explanation!!

I love it plane

wow..

How to prepare spinach and artichoke dip

Why keep the steam long, for presentation? Juice of lemon in water, for a chemical result or taste? BEAUTIFUL presentation! I was WOWED👏 !

Does it matter if you leave the spiky bits on and cut them off later? And do you have to use the lemon?

what do you think about this way ? @

My wife makes a lemon hollandaise sauce and we dip in it! Much better that the butter Lemon dill sauce.

Like the Rocky Mountain High look in his eyes

Very Tasty! What vegetable group does the Artichoke belong too?

Así esta el mundo,desaprovechando la mitad de la comida !!!

"thorns" but your video was much better than the others, thanks

I just cooked them for the first time. Never again. Hahahaa. I'd rather just get them out of the jar. The receipe I followed wasn't as easy as yours. Thanks for sharing.

I will try this, the flavors look amazing. The cooking style looks WAY WAY WAY over cooked, but I will try and come back to comment. Best!

Hello Friend is a great video. I'll follow your channel very well.

Don't waste the water it's great fertilizer, without the lemons.

What are the pros and cons of boiling versus steaming? When I tried boiling it was a bit soggy

Would you drink the soup ?

yummy

Advice on doing this in an air fryer?

Holy shit. Finally somebody shows us the right way to deal with these suckers!

After tht lid in pot move & rhen when removing chokes from pot- too, Im really starting to wonder if Bro Really a Chef or is he perppin🤔 🤣🤣🤣

Why is the counter so tall

nice 😍😍

Show us how to eat it!

I cook them up in 2" of water.

Doesnt boiling kill all the vitamins? Isnt it better to bake them?

Is the nutritional value reduced since the vegetable was boiled for 45 minutes?

What is your nationality ?

Can you eat all of it hairy fibers and all? Is there any nutritional benefit to it?

Do you not salt the water?

Would be more nutritional if you steamed them

Whats your name chef tiger ?!

Get to the sauce!

why not eat the hairy part

what does it taste like? Like grass??😂 never tried it

Overcooked

This guy is funny 😆 I

I've been eating the choke. Oops LOL!

But... but... what about the mayo...?

nothing left to eat

Never knew about thus veggy.but I don't think I can eat it

4:44... "artichoke 3-way"...Food Porn.

He's hot omg

overcooked

All that for such a small part. 😕

Speak slowly, more clearly please.

Why bother

90 % of the arthichoke is wasted.. Use your time to cook okra brousell sprout or okra

No spices in the water? No salt or olive oil or oregano? Already not good.

Does not look good

Fail

All that work do so little . Looks terrible!
