Once you&#8217;re done eating all the leaves, you can save the artichoke heart and make a really easy and delicious spinach artichoke dip with it.<\/p>\n<p>Wash the artichoke and cut off the stems. You can either steam, boil or bake an artichoke. I prefer to boil or steam it since it keeps it more moist. Just put the artichoke and stems in a pot of boiling water or in a water bath, and let boil\/steam for about 20-30 min until done.<\/p>\n<p>Serve with melted butter.<\/p>\n<p>To eat, pull off a leaf, dip in melted butter, and scrape the meat off the tender end with your front teeth. Some of the first leaves may not be very &#8220;meaty&#8221;, but the further in you get, the meatier the leaves get.<\/p>\n<p>Once all the leaves are eaten you will be left with the artichoke heart (the base), which is a golden ingredient in many delicious dishes. One easy and yummy way of using an artichoke heart is by making a spinach and artichoke dip with it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worthitliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Artichokes4-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worthitliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Artichokes4-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worthitliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Artichokes4-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worthitliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Artichokes4-590x354.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.worthitliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Artichokes4-400x240.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.worthitliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Artichokes4-500x300.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.worthitliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Artichokes4.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is really the main way I learned how to eat artichokes growing up.
