delicious artichokes

0. chop off annoying stem and leaf-tops
1. steam artichokes
2. melt butter
3. peel off leaves
4. dip and devour
:)

EDIT: Just to be clear (after reading Chris's comment) I love artichoke leaves. I just meant I was cutting off the very top where the leaves are all spiny and don't have tasty parts anyway. But as far as I'm concerned the whole POINT of artichokes is the leaves! :)

Hey, why are you not eating the leaves? They are the best part.

Hey, don't toss the stem!! Peel it and steam it too! It's almost as good as the heart according to the dear Mr. Alton Brown! Also, I suggest a horse radish infused dijonaise as a dip too. Delicious!
