-Continue by trimming down the stem
-Scoop out the hair of the artichoke
-Boil until tender ~ 20 minutes
-Let cool, then quarter the artichokes

  1. The comments on this thread make me want to repeatedly bang my head into a wall. There is no 'right' or 'only' way to eat an artichoke. 'White people' don't think seasoning is only s&p. Food is to be enjoyed however you want to enjoy it, and cutting the leaves off an artichoke and making a salad out of the hearts is as valid and delicious as leaving an amazing tuna steak to sing on its own, with nothing but a subtle hint of s&p.

  2. This man knows nothing of cross contamination… I hope he doesn't get food poisoning, because I like the recipes.

  3. Every time I see someone cut an artichoke like that, I just think of how much of it is being wasted! I love artichokes, and want every little bit I can get. Lol

  4. Bluefin tuna are super abundant in the Pacific?! Erm, no. Bluefin tuna populations have declined by over 90% in the last 50 years. Talking about a sustainable camping site and then using a fish which is headed towards extinction….I'd call that a pretty big FAIL! Almost as bad as Stella trying to make a cider (and just because you spell it wrong, doesn't make it any better).

  5. I really agree with TheTouchlamp… after handling tuna, we need to wash our hands well before touching other things. Hope the board was well cleaned not just rinsed.  Recipe is nice.  Although his artichoke preparation looks good, I prefer to eat all the artichoke, I find there is much waste in eating it cut up this way.  And there are lots of vitamins in the leaves. I do like the idea of adding capers as he did in the dressing.

  6. I remember finding this video by accident when it came out. I tried making this dish and fell in love with cooking and got so many great reviews, 3 years later I am now a cook and I love my job more than anything! So thank you Byron, your cooking definitely had an impact on my career choice!
