When I was no older than 10, my aunt, who lived in California, came to visit us lowlifes in Missouri, and she brought with her Fresh Artichoke. Of course, I had never tried it before, and from what I remember, we steamed the whole head, and ate the leaves, too!
If you don't want oxidation, rub a lemon slice on the cuts. Since you're frying them, though, I don't think the oxidation matters. Thanks for the recipe! I need to find baby artichokes now. 😊
I had the best rice at a Thanksgiving dinner that had artichoke in it along with a salad of baby spinach, walnuts, red onion slices and raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
I didn't realize you had a thorough recipe on your channel, after seeing the epic homestead vid I was thinking about how to make it simple and easily followable
WOW! I love gardening and enjoy the farm to table concept. I have a small garden of my own and I love seeing and learning all these tricks and recipes!!🤩💯💕💕💕
But Jacques you didn't eat it "whole" at all, you threw most of it away! We grew up cooking the entire head, then peeling each petal off one by one and sucking the flesh off the bottom of each (leaving only the pointy tip), before eating the heart at the centre.
That is how I have usually ate it but in this case you are eating the entire petal, except the tips. So instead of having a bowl of scraped petals you actually eat the entire petal. When you get these smaller artichokes it really isn't worth eating that way anyways.
Hey Jacques! I recently saw some people talking about sterilizing their potting mixes with steam. I haven't seen anyone on TH-cam do this and I would love to know your thoughts on it!
I personally would only do that if I had indoor plants or if your trying to certain microbes and fungi but you would need to add those with some kind of additive like micorizal powder
Recipe sounds amazing. I am going to simulate it as best possible 😊. Thanks for sharing. Nice channel. I am enjoying your gardening skills and knowledge.
Where do you source your plants first before growing them? Do you buy organic seeds or a mature plant already? If you start growing from a market fruit or plant, will it carry the same characteristics like if its a gmo plant or something? Im so new. Thanks
@@ginblossom70 yeah no problem 🤍 my mother in law was wondering what witchery I was performing to keep cut bananas and avocados from oxidizing and I just held up my knife lol. My guacamole never turns brown even uncovered for hours and overnight. Just be gentle on the knife when washing and storing because they can chip easier than your traditional knives. Well worth the care though ✌️
Actually, when they die back slowly, leave the leaves on to let it continue to gather energy. What I noticed is next spring baby artichokes start off the old stack and some off root sideshoots😊
You people don't know how😅 to eat artichokes.... Boil till soft 30 mins and then eat each leaf with garlic salt and butter. When you get to the heart scrape off the heart and enjoy. Simple and lovely
@@KittiLumpo lol it’s eating MORE than the way you’re talking about. Amazing the armchair critics can’t even critique something real. The only thing chopping the top is the points you can’t eat anyway.
Not intending to bait! In my mind this is eating the artichoke whole as you are eating all the petals and the full structure. The tips have very little in them and potentially spikes but everything else is being consumed.
@@zoewhite7705 I always ate (or scraped the petals) the same way too. I never had fresh artichokes, only canned but yummy still. I would add them to garnish a salad.
@@jacquesinthegarden It must have been in how it was edited then, it looked as though you discarded all the petals, and then cut off and discarded a large part of the heart also, and only cooked the very small part that was left after that.
1 clove of garlic. That clove is half the head 🤣
🤣 so true 😉👌🍀
As it should be. There is no such thing as too much garlic .

As you’re cleaning and cutting them toss them in a bowl with water and lemon juice, citric acid or vinegar. It should keep them from oxidizing.
Since I pan frying them I didn't want to introduce any water at this point but that does work!
I usually key a half of a lemon on hand and rub it on the fresh cut. It doesn’t add much liquid that way and it’ll prevent that browning

Flowering artichokes are the most vibrant purple I’ve ever seen. Almost like they’re glowing
Always steamed them whole.. And ate the basecof the petals.. This is cool

thanks Jaques this looks really good.
In crete we eat them a lot,we eat them raw with lemon and salt.Its delicious
"These are my baby artichokes" then proceeds to cut and torture them ! How dare you!

That looks great man!
Would love to see your entire garden for inspiration
I eat the outer leaves too. Pressure cooking helps.
Sounds amazing!
I've heard about a trick to prevent oxidation is to just dip the choke in lemon juice.
Like that !! You a lot of varieties of veggies in your garden !!
You cleaned those like a champ!
Absolutely loved your video. Thank you. What other ways have you cooked them?

This has been on my list of things to grow!
BTW what is that lovely blue flowering plant in the background? You can see it at the end of your reel. 😬
Duuuude. I want some baby artichokes ☹️
Fantastic 😊
Thanks 😊 👍 😀

you can eat absolutely anything in an artichoke, even hay
Nooooooooo,
the STEMS are YUMMMMM!
Hi what zone are you growing artichoke in? They look delicious will have to make thanks!
I am in zone 10b!
Have some acidulated water to keep them from oxidizing
Just ran across your channel and subscribed
Where do you source your plants first before growing them? Do you buy organic seeds or a mature plant already? If you start growing from a market fruit or plant, will it carry the same characteristics like if its a gmo plant or something? Im so new. Thanks
I like the petals...
Yumm
Hey friend, use a ceramic knife and none of your fruits and veggies will oxidize ever again ✌️
Or just put them in a bowl of water in the meantime. It doesn't affect the taste, right?
@@senadzri He said it will if you're planning to pan fry or braise them.
Really? Thank you for that bit of advice.

“How to eat the whole thing by barely eating half of it”
Does the choke fluff ever cook out enough to not be a throat threat?
Where I am they don’t sell baby artichokes and it’s too cold to grow them so I am jealous.
I always confused with this veg because we don't have it here.. Seems like a lot of work to get to the edible part.. Is it thaat gooodd?
"Whole" proceeds to rip off all the leaves
(Which, by the way have perfectly edible flesh at the bottom)
How do i propagate artichoke? Can i regrow with the fruit part of the artichoke plant u buy in the store? Or???? Please Tell

@@heatherk8931 but if I don't have one to pull from?
Where do you come up with your recipe for cooking these? Trial and error or an actual recipe? I used to make stuffed artichokes - yum
My partner introduced it to me I am not sure where she picked it up!
Yummy!!
Jacques in the Gourmet Kitchen in the Garden
Is nobody going to talk about how "eating them whole" means completely breaking them down
Know what happens of it oxidizes?!!! Nothing..it's absolutely fine..
BUTTER❤🎉
I want to know where to get them
Shave it thin and fry or bake it as a chip!
i always just ate the meat on the leaves, until i got to the bulb and them removed the hairs and ate the bulb
No salt?
What kind of broth?
🤤
I don't think I have seen artichokes that small
they are great wrapped in bacon
RINSE IN LEMON WATER AFTER CHOPPING
“I’m going to show you how to eat the entire thing”
Throw away 90% of it
You people don't know how😅 to eat artichokes.... Boil till soft 30 mins and then eat each leaf with garlic salt and butter. When you get to the heart scrape off the heart and enjoy. Simple and lovely
Duhh!!! I don’t know why my silly little brain didn’t think of that sooner 🤦🏻♀️
Cutting the garlic LARGER so it DOESN’T BURN _duhhhhh_
I can't believe srtichoje is actually a flower and people eat it before it blooms...😭
Put them in lemon water they won't turn brown
Do you sell some of your crops?
Eating it whole after you remove 90% of it
That was NOT one clove of garlic. It was an appropriate amount, but it wasn't 1 clove
It was literally the one clove I showed you! Its just a giant clove of Music garlic I grew
@@jacquesinthegarden I love "elephant" garlic but have not seen it in years. It's sweeter and tender.
YOU WASTE THE PETAL MEATS????? 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I eat the petal meats directly this way! Especially for smaller artichokes that aren't worth the bother for eating that way.
@@jacquesinthegarden wasteful 😔😔😔😔
@@KittiLumpo lol it’s eating MORE than the way you’re talking about. Amazing the armchair critics can’t even critique something real. The only thing chopping the top is the points you can’t eat anyway.
I've never understood the hype for artichokes, still don't.
I feel baited. Title says eating the WHOLE thing, but video shows over half of it being cut off snd discarded
Came to say the same thing. This is the exact opposite of eating them whole.
Not intending to bait! In my mind this is eating the artichoke whole as you are eating all the petals and the full structure. The tips have very little in them and potentially spikes but everything else is being consumed.
