In reply to Susanne. Thank you so much, Susanne! A wonderful dish it is! But agree about the availability in Canada, unfortunately.

Artichokes are a little hard to find in my part of Canada, but when I can get them it is one of my very favourite treats. I love the whole thing with a vinaigrette.

In reply to Gurubandhu S Khalsa. Hi! There is nothing wrong with steaming artichokes but I find that boiled artichokes are easier to make and they also get more tender (heart and meat on leaves). Because they are also submerged in a large amount of water at a constant temperature, you can also open the lid to check on the doneness of the artichokes from time to time (which you can't do with a steamer).

The vinaigrette looks delicious. I have always heated artichokes that by steaming them and other recipes have said the same thing. Why do you recommend boiling them in water? Do the nutrients get lost? Thanks.

I just had these last night here in France where I live – first of the season. So so yummy. This is exactly how we eat them. My parents taught us how to eat them like this. I will have to try your vinaigrette, normally I just make lemon butter. Thx!!
