  1. Get them together in a group, have everyone open wide, and then start throwing.

    Exploding like confetti out of a giant birthday cake

    Steam them and serve them with a dipping sauce for the leaves.

    Trim, peel, blanch, roast, dress.

    I wouldn’t if it was a party that big, they take too long to prep for a party of that size.

    Blanch and then steam the whole artichoke and present it as an interactive dining experience where the guests have to get to the middle of their own artichoke.

    My least favorite ingredient to work with. God speed Chef.

    How much time do you have and how many people do you have to throw at the task?

  8. Incoherentdelusion

    Why would you serve that to 85 people when you could see how many you could shove up your ass??

    Sicilian breaded artichokes

    Just like how you’re doing in the picture

    Get two chefs with two sharp pairing knives to turn them. You’ll need big bowls with lemon water so they don’t turn brown. Blanche them and roast them or you could confit with garlic, the peels from the lemons and some woody herbs. You’d need 2 big gastros.

    The best thing about the confit is they store for a good while and the oil is great for dressing.

    They go nicely with a Romesco sauce or added into a nice bitter leaf salad. Alternatively just serve in small dishes with the oil as a snack alongside bread for dipping.

    To be honest if you’re prepping and serving today it’ll take a huge amount of time to get them done to any sort of standard.

    Blanch in lemon water, clean, halve and fill with lemon crab salad. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  14. It’s time for a shitton of stuffed artichokes

    Underarm serve would be quicker, but overarm would allow pace or spin

    Artichoke dip sounds like a decent option given the context of use

    Those have to be the smallest chokes I’ve ever seen

  18. MrLuthor

    Throw them at the guests yelling “grenade out!”

    Blanch for an 30-45 min. Peel off outer leaves till you get to the soft parts. Half/quater to make sure there not early parts of the flower at the center (purple leaves). If so clean with scissors or petite knife.

    Make a light wet batter to fry them at 350 till golden. Make a zesty aioli for dipping.

    I’d halve them first, and remove the choke.

    Then after blanching, roast or sheet pan bake them with whole garlic, lemon halves, and fresh sprigs of rosemary and thyme. Serve over pasta, bitter greens or in a grain bowl.

    Baby chokes? Salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, lemon, olive oil. Pan roasted Until you get a nice crisp on the outside. If you have a good remoulade, or sweet dijon recipe. It would be good for dipping. Definitely use a bowl for plating if they won’t be on the main dish. They will add volume to the course with a ramekin of sauce on the side.

    Sardou…trim and confit, then add creamy spinach, poached egg, and top with a lemon- forward roasted garlic hollandaise. Finish with finely chopped chive

    They taste great boiled with Italian herbs and some good quality olive oil. Toasting some breadcrumbs with herbs and Parmesan as a topping or tossing the halved artichokes with olive oil after cooking.
