5 Large Artichokes...Suggestions?

Posted by jazzinx, May 16, 2009 at 2:37 AM

The title has got the gist of things. Long story short, there was a sale at Whole Foods today, and since they're usually obscenely expensive (about 3$ each) I eventually gave in to the pretty globe artichokes stacked in pyramids and walked out with five.

Only problem is...I have no idea what to do with them. I've never actually cooked an artichoke on my own before (though an aunt of mine would enlist me to help her make stuffed artichokes when I was a kid, so I know how to prep them). Are the leaves edible, or only parts of them? I'm asking this because I'd prefer not to waste them and end up with 5 artichoke hearts I could have easily gotten in a can for cheaper.

Also, what can I possibly do with so many, save stuff them all? How long do they stay good in the fridge? Should I just cook a couple at a time and save the rest? Help!
