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!

    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. 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!

I make these all the time but I add garlic and pepper and a pinch of salt. Either way you can't go wrong.
