Notes

  • This recipe, I use frozen artichokes but if you cannot find frozen artichokes you can use the fresh ones.
  • If you don't know how to clean fresh artichokes follow the instructions below.
  • Before you clean fresh artichokes wear a pair of gloves as artichokes stain
  • Immediately immerse the artichokes in water and lemon otherwise they will turn black
  • I usually make 2 pots so they can be placed at the two ends of the table.
  • If the dinner is more formal I make a little pot for each guest.  With the quantities of this recipe, you can make 6 pots.
  • It is very important not to use a pot that it is too large as the mix will be too thin. If too thin it will risk burning and it will not be as creamy in the centre. You need to have minimum 1 in or 2.5 centimetres of artichoke mix to dip into.
