Preparing globe artichokes

Discover how to prepare and cook a globe artichoke.

Points to remember

Snap back tough outer leaves until you begin to expose the pale yellow ones. Rub all cut surface with lemon juice as you go.
Trim top off and pare down the leaves which cover the base of the heart.
Use a teaspoon to remove the fibrous 'choke' buried in the centre. Discard.

Useful tips

Keep dipping the cut surfaces of the artichoke in lemon juice to stop them discolouring.
