Hands down, one of our favorite food blogs is Sassy Radish<\/a>, written by Olga Massov.\u00a0 Both Olga’s recipes and photography are amazing, and we’re delighted she is sharing this recipe with us to help promote diabetes awareness.\u00a0 If you’re not skilled at trimming artichokes, Olga recommends this video<\/a> from Melissa Clark of the New York Times. \u00a0– Jessica Apple<\/em><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that you must work quickly and dip your artichoke in the acidulated water as you are trimming \u2013 it shows discoloration in no time. But in the end, the whole mess winds up in the pot and turns olive-green, so don\u2019t worry too much about it upon your first time. Lastly, remember when cleaning the choke, if you stick your finger inside the artichoke to feel if any choke is left, feel for the fuzzy stuff \u2013 if you feel it, you still have some work to do. Otherwise, your artichoke has been properly cleaned. In case you don\u2019t watch the video, Melissa recommends a grapefruit spoon to get rid of the choke and I find that it works miracles!<\/p>\n
