Artichoke



We bought some fresh artichokes from Trader Joe's today! Thought I'd try 'em fresh to see if they're any better than the canned or frozen ones. They were O.K. but I think it's too much prep work. I did make a yummy dipping sauce you might want to try:

2 tablespoons of good quality (preferably organic) mayonaisse
1 tablespoon of sour cream (lite is O.K. too)
1 med. clove of garlic minced and zapped in microwave for 30 seconds on high (be sure to cover)
Juice from one lemon wedge
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients well and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
