A boyfriend's mother taught me this great dipping sauce for artichokes and asparagus. It's somewhat like aioli. Replace dried basil for fresh, and garlic salt for the garlic. If you do use dried basil, cut the original amount in half. Use low-fat mayonnaise if you like.

Flavored steaming water adds succulence to these. The dipping sauce is a little different from plain mayonnaise or melted butter (although those are very good, too). Fresh artichokes should have tightly closed heads and not be withered-looking. To make a nice presentation, cut an inch off the top of the artichokes with a sharp knife, and snip the thorny tips from the leaves with kitchen shears. Cut the stems off flush with the bottom of the artichokes, then cut off the dark, dried-out ends of the stems. Steam the green sections of the stems right along with the artichokes. Sometimes the stems taste good and sometimes they don't, but you won't know unless you cook them. Try a bite of the stems when they are tender. If they taste good but are fibrous, peel them with a sharp knife. If they are good, you have bonus bites of tasty artichoke. If they taste bitter, just add them to the compost pile. A teaspoon is the perfect tool to scrape off the fuzzy center after eating the tender parts of the leaves. Please remove the fuzzy choke with care. As my father used to say, "That's the part that choked Arty." Then you can eat the artichoke bottom. That is your reward for all the work you did to pull off, dip and nibble the leaves one at a time. I have cooked them this way for a long time and am not sure where the idea came from, but it was probably Julia Child. The sauce is from my DBF. His brother made it when they were boys at home. It's good on broccoli, too.

Artichokes are not the friendliest of vegetables. They are a good source of magnesium, potassium and fiber, and they require a little work, but it's time well-spent. The simplest way to prepare an artichoke is to steam it, there's hardly any trimming at all. Serve it with a dipping sauce and work your way, perhaps with a friend or loved one, to the heart. Then scrape away the chokes and divvy up the prize at the middle.

A mayonnaise sauce with a little different twist. I was surprised and pleased to find that the typical seasonings in curries work so well with artichokes. Hope you enjoy this. (Low fat mayo works fine in this recipe, but bottled lemon juice doe not - use fresh squeezed) Note: the sauce is highly seasoned. If you wish a milder sauce, reduce all spices to half.
