My husband's grandmother used to make these. Now that we have artichoke plants of our own, this is our favorite way to prepare them!

Steps

1

Thoroughly wash the artichokes. Pull about 3 rows of outer leaves. Using a paring knife, smooth the bottom and cut off the stem.
2

Cut the artichokes in half. If the choke is really well developed, cut them out with a paring knife. If they are soft, just leave them.
3

Put a sautée pan on medium low. Drizzle with olive oil. Place artichokes cut side down. Put on a tight fitting lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
4

Turn each artichoke over. Brush the centers with melted butter. If the pan looks really dry, you can add a tbls or two of water. Replace the lid and cook for another 5-7 minutes.

To eat, pick up the whole thing and scrape the heart and lower section of the leaves with your teeth. Mmmm!
