Thanks to June, you have a new and simplified way to cook artichokes! Rinse each artichoke under running water, spreading the leaves slightly to rinse in between them. But don’t be tempted to pat them dry--any residual water will help the artichokes steam to tender perfection. If desired, trim off the pointy ends of the leaves with kitchen scissors. Serve the artichokes with melted butter, aioli, or another dipping sauce of your choice.
