    List of Ingredients




    6 fresh artichokes fresh
    6 tablespoons olive oil
    3 tablespoons cider vinegar or wine vinegar
    1 clove garlic minced
    1 tablespoon salt
    6 peppercorns white
    1 bay leaf
    1/4 teaspoon thyme dried, crushed
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    * Part two.
    1/2 cup olive oil or peanut oil
    1/4 cup cider vinegar or wine vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    Freshly ground pepper to taste
    1/2 clove garlic minced
    1 teaspoon dijon style mustard
    2 teaspoons capers

    Recipe



    Wash artichokes well, cut off stem of each at base. Trim off top 1/3 of each leaf with scissors; place in large enamel covered pot. Cover with water, add oil, vinegar and spices. Cook over high heat until base of artichokes can be easily pierced with a fork, or a bottom leaf can be easily removed-about 40 to 60 minutes depending on size of artichoke. Drain well, upside down, squeezing a bit to remove moisture. Spread leaves apart and remove choke with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Prepare following vinaigrette sauce to serve in separate little saucers with the artichokes.

    Vinaigrette:
    *Put all ingredients except capers in blender and blend well. Add capers and refrigerate in covered jar until ready to serve.
