Artichoke Week: The 5-Minute Artichoke

J – How did I ever miss this one?

It almost doesn’t deserve a post … except, I’m betting a few people don’t know this trick. Luke, of course, suggested it with “here’s a really easy dish for artichoke week …” Yup!

Take one artichoke. Double wrap in plastic wrap.

The only trick is to very tightly double wrap the artichoke so it will retain all the moisture.
