EN:Artichoke Dishes

Artichoke Dishes include dishes made with artichoke (Cynara scolymus)—a Mediterranean vegetable with a mildly bitter, nutty flavour. The edible part is the fleshy base (the heart) and the lower portions of the bracts. Artichokes are prepared boiled in lemon water, grilled, stuffed (carciofi alla romana), fried (carciofi alla giudia), in salads, on pizza, and as part of antipasti. Artichoke cream is used in sauces and dips.
