    I never had a fresh cooked artichoke growing up. If we were served one, I'm sure it was one from a can. I'm not sure why we never had them. Maybe they just weren't abundant in New York State back then or maybe my mom just didn't have an interest in them.  I normally don't buy artichokes because Grumpy just is not a fan.  But when Oakley from Frieda's Specialty Produce emailed offering to send me some, I wasn't going to say no!  After all, I love them.  I figured I would just eat them all by myself  as a special treat!  Needless to say, if I come across any as beautiful as these at our local grocery, I would be very inclined to buy one.

    Yes, that is a garlic clove popping up out of that beautiful artichoke.  This is a Sangria Artichoke.  I was fortunate enough to get one of these along with a Fiore-Viola Artichoke and baby artichokes from Frieda's. I know I will be looking for these beauties next time I go shopping.  

    I started out with just the baby artichokes.  I knew it would be just me eating them so I figured the 4 tiny ones would be enough for me.  Um, no.  That was not the case.  While these beautiful little babies were tasty, it was not enough.  I needed more.
    When it came to cooking these, I really didn't want to steam.  Roasting is the way I prefer to go when cooking a vegetable.  So, I did a quick search on how to roast artichokes and was brought right to Nicole's blog, Pinch my Salt.  Her instructions were so easy to follow that I will send you her way to find out how to roast them.
    I cut my artichokes and soaked them in a lemon/olive oil/water solution until I was ready to prep them further.  I then placed a globe on a sheet of aluminum foil and stuffed with a couple garlic cloves, drizzled with a little more oil, and gave them some salt and pepper.  I wrapped them up and popped them in the oven.
    I am so happy that Oakley sent me these to try.....even if Grumpy refuses to eat one.  It was a definite treat for me!
    I enjoyed my Artichoke with a Garlic Saffron Aioli (recipe below).  

    I received a package with baby artichokes and 1 each of the Fiore-Viola and Sangria Artichokes from Frieda's Specialty Produce.  I was not required to write a blog post in exchange for this product.  I wrote this post because I enjoy Frieda's Specialty Produce and want to share my experience with you, my readers.

      They look so pretty and sound so delicious! I have never cooked an artichoke before and imagined it was much more difficult! I am definitely going to give this recipe a go, as artichokes are just about to come into season here in the UK. Thanks!
