STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON BUTTER
Large, plump artichokes are generally better for steaming than smaller ones. They may take longer to soften, but you'll end up with plenty of meaty petals to pull off and dip into the lemon butter. This recipe gives instructions for steaming the artichokes in a traditional pot, but a pressure cooker (either electric or stovetop) is a faster option if you have one. See the Note below for instructions.

Steps:
- Pull off any brown or very tough outer leaves from one artichoke. Use a sharp knife to cut off the top 1 inch of artichoke, then rub with the cut side of the lemon. Use kitchen shears or scissors to cut the pointy tops off the remaining outer layer of leaves. Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife to peel the stem down to its tender pale-colored core; immediately rub the stem with a lemon half. Use your fingers to separate the center leaves to expose the fuzzy pale choke sitting on top of the heart. Use a grapefruit spoon (or other spoon) to scoop out the choke, and rub a little lemon juice over the exposed flesh. Repeat with the remaining artichokes.
- Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of water, place a steamer basket inside, and bring water to a simmer. Place the artichokes bottoms down on the rack, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer over low heat until you can easily pull off an artichoke leaf, 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the steamer basket and transfer to a serving platter.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic and salt. Slowly whisk in butter. To serve, have everyone pull off the leaves and dunk the meaty bottoms into the lemon butter, swirling to mix butter with each dip (the butter will separate as it sits).

ARTICHOKE & LEMON PASTA
While sailing in the Mediterranean, we tasted a lemony artichoke pasta. I developed my own version of it that our guests love. Try it with shrimp and kalamata olives. -Peter Halferty, Corpus Christi, Texas

STEAMED WHOLE ARTICHOKES WITH SPICY LEMON CAPER MAYONNAISE
This is a dish that takes you straight to a French bistro. I love it because we cook the artichokes whole and eat the whole thing! While the recipe calls for a steaming method, you can easily submerge them in a large pot of boiling, lightly salted water and cook until tender. When I was living in Paris, a glass of cheap, dry white wine with a few ice cubes and this artichoke with the spicy dipping sauce made for a classic bistro appetizer moment. Pull off the leaves, dunk in the sauce and enjoy. Scoop the fuzzy "hay" off the top of the artichoke to find the heart in the center-the best part! Don't like spicy? Simply make the sauce without the hot sauce or pepper flakes.

Steps:
- Place each artichoke on its side on a flat surface. Use a serrated knife to saw off the stem at the base of the artichoke so it can sit upright on a plate without falling over once cooked.
- In a large pot, add 3 inches of water. Insert a steamer basket. Place the artichokes top-down in the basket, wedged in a single layer. Cover. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. If the pot runs out of water while cooking, simply add more to the bottom.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, oil, capers, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the chives.
- Serve the artichokes with the dipping sauce.
ARTICHOKE ONION SKEWERS WITH A LEMON VINAIGRETTE & AIOLI
These are a great grilled side dish or even make them as small appetizers for a party. Take advantage of frozen ingredients and a fresh lemon vinaigrette and aioli. Now if you have access to fresh baby artichokes, by all means; clean them, blanch, cut in half and use the same way on the skewer. Also if you have patience to peel and blanch the pearl onions, that is great. For special guests I do take the time, but for a quick side dish with some grilled steaks, chicken or seafood or in a hurry for guests coming over. These are perfect with almost just as good as the fresh without all the work. You just need a little time to marinade the skewers, which can easily be done early that day; a simple aioli, again made well ahead of time;and then just grill. I do these often for parties using smaller skewers for bite size appetizers, but same recipe.

Steps:
- Aioli -- In a small container or bowl, add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, zest, thyme, sugar, salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to serve. This can be made the day ahead.
- Vinaigrette -- In a 13x9" glass (no metal) pan, add the olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper and mix well and set to the side.
- Artichokes and Onions -- These should be thawed, more room temp vs cold where there could be additional liquid in the them. Make sure to dry them off with a paper towel. Cut the artichokes in half, end to end; and skewer 1-3 of the halves alternating with 1-2 of the whole onions, depending on the size of your skewer.
- Marinate -- Add the artichoke and onion skewers in the 13x9" pan with the marinade. When you first put them in the pan, I take a brush and make sure to coat all sides of the skewers. Cover with plastic wrap for 1-8 hours. More time -- more flavor. If you can, half way through marinating, brush them again and roll them over in the pan to cover all the surface of the vegetables.
- Grill -- About 5-6 minutes on each side, on medium heat (a bit off to the side). I brush with the leftover marinade during cooking and grill until golden brown.
- Serve -- Plate along side a bowl of the aioli and a few lemon wedges for a great side dish. They are absolutely delish!
- Marinating time is not included in total prep time. Also note -- I did not soak the skewers. Since these are cooked pretty quickly, I don't find the need to soak them, and they do have some moisture from the marinade. But be careful of flare ups. Make sure to cook off to the side a bit where they don't get any flames.

CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND LEMON
If you like artichokes as much as I do, this recipe, often made at Passover by Jews from Morocco, is for you. You can use fresh or frozen artichokes, though trimming fresh artichokes is worth the effort for their delicate texture. To save waste, boil the trimmed artichoke leaves about 15 minutes until tender in water with a lemon, then enjoy them for lunch, dipping them into an easy sauce of yogurt spiked with a spoonful of Dijon mustard. Easily made in a frying pan, this tagine goes well with couscous, or a quinoa or bulgur pilaf, though that might depend on your Passover traditions, and Moroccan Jews do not allow rice or couscous. The dish can easily be made a day or two in advance and refrigerated or even frozen.

Steps:
- If using fresh artichokes, fill a large bowl with water. Cut 1 lemon in half then squeeze the juice into the water; add the spent lemon halves to the bowl, too.
- Prepare the artichokes one at a time, rubbing them all over with the spent lemon halves as you cut and expose the inner artichoke heart. First, cut off at least 1 inch of the thorny top. Trim the stem near the heart, leaving about 2 inches of stem if possible, then peel off the outer green fiber of the stem. Using your fingers, tear off the tough outer leaves, then switch to a sharp paring or bird's beak knife, when necessary, to shave more inner artichoke leaves until you reach the tender pale green or yellow leaves and create a bulbous shape. Gently open the leaves and remove the choke using a grapefruit spoon or melon baller, then scrape and tear (or slice) the remaining leaves off so that only the bottom remains. Cut the artichoke heart in quarters; put the quarters in the lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration. Discard the rest of the artichoke, leaves and stem, or reserve for another use.
- Pat chicken dry, then season all over with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat, then add the chicken, skin-side down. Cook, undisturbed until well browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken thighs to a plate and spoon out about 3 tablespoons of fat from the pan, if desired. (You can discard the excess fat or save for another use.)
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add the onion, garlic, parsley and saffron. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the onion, then stir to combine.
- Add the broth to deglaze, scraping the bottom of the pan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it into the pan skin-side up. Arrange the artichokes between the chicken pieces, cover, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and cook until the sauce is thickened and the artichokes slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the juice from half the remaining lemon, taste, and adjust with salt and more lemon juice if needed. Spoon artichokes and pan sauces over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley to garnish, and serve.
LEMON SPAGHETTI WITH ROASTED ARTICHOKES
Lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan and basil come together for a silky and vibrant sauce that makes this weeknight-friendly pasta sing. The addition of roasted artichoke hearts adds texture and complements the zestiness of the dish. There's no better time than a weeknight to embrace canned or frozen artichoke hearts, as they are immensely less work than whole fresh ones, and they roast beautifully - and effortlessly - in a hot oven. Holding onto that salty, starchy pasta water is key to ensuring that each spaghetti noodle is enveloped in the lemony sauce; use it judiciously to emulsify the sauce as you quickly toss it.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently pat the artichoke hearts with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the artichoke hearts in a mound in the center of the baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon salt, season with pepper and gently toss to combine. Scatter the artichoke hearts in an even layer and roast for 20 minutes. Flip the hearts and roast for an additional 10 minutes, until browned and a little crisp around the edges.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes or according to package directions.
- While the pasta cooks, in a serving dish large enough to accommodate the spaghetti, add the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the lemon zest; toss to combine. Add the lemon juice and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil; stir to combine. The mixture should resemble a thick paste.
- Place the serving dish next to the pasta pot. Scoop out and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of it over the Parmesan-lemon mixture; stir to thin out the mixture a little.
- Using tongs, lift out some of the spaghetti (with its cooking water still clinging to it) and transfer to the Parmesan-lemon mixture; quickly toss and drag the spaghetti in a circular motion around the dish to incorporate the sauce. Repeat until you have transferred and tossed all of the spaghetti.
- Add the butter, basil and 1 tablespoon of the pasta water to the spaghetti, and keep tossing until you have a silky sauce clinging to it. Add more pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
- Top with the roasted artichokes, a little more black pepper and torn basil, and serve.

- Trim your artichokes. Cut off 1/3 from the top of the artichoke, trim the stem and then remove any and all tough outer leaves. You will need to remove more leaves than you think, just keep going until you see the tender inner leaves that are a nice light pale green.
- Slice the artichoke in half and add to the lemony olive oil mixture being sure to toss each half around so it is lightly coated in the lemony goodness. *Once the artichokes are exposed to oxygen they quickly oxidize (aka turn black) so take your time, but try to work as quickly as possible ;)
- Once you have all the artichokes prepped, heat a medium non-stick saut pan over a medium-high heat. Toss artichokes and the lemony olive oil mixture into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the artichokes are lightly browned. Add a splash of water to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes.

- Slice off the ends of the artichoke hearts and set them aside. Use your fingers to separate the remaining artichoke petals (just fluff them up so that they are no longer stuck together) and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Stir in the flour until evenly combined and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Add the stock, bay leaves, thyme and artichoke ends (not the petals) and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low to maintain the simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove and discard the bay leaves. Then, either using an immersion blender (my preference) or a traditional blender (see notes below), carefully puree the broth until it is completely smooth.
