I aim to grow some on my deck in toronto this year for they are delicious. You asked for a recipe and this is one i can't get enough of... Approx 12 baby artichokes with all the outside leaves stripped off and the remainder chopped off just above the heart. Halve each artichoke. Sauté them with some Yukon gold potatoes chopped into cubes roughly the same size as the artichokes. Simmer covered for approx 5 minutes then squeeze over the juice of a lemon and add approx 1 pint of good chicken stock. Simmer until a knife will enter the artichoke. Put the vegetables into a dish and reduce the liquid until syrupy then add back onto the vegetables. Salt and pepper and lots of chopped curly parley. Yum
