So over the years I have gotten many requests to make artichokes for my family. The told me a story about how they loved to get these world famous artichokes in Maui, and they no longer can get them there. So I took it on as my responsibility to recreate my version, of what was described to me. These artichokes alone be for stuffing and baking taste so much better than a regular steamed artichoke. Here is my trick.
1 Onion (Chopped)
1 Garlic (Chopped
1/2 tsp salt & Pepper
1/4 c of Chicken Seasoning (I use McKays)
4 Artichokes Medium
First, start by washing and trimming your artichoke of its thorns, and stem and cut at least 1 inch off the top. Now slice artichokes in half, take a spoon and carve out the purple choke (very thistle, not pleasant to eat.
Second, Saute onions, garlic, and pepper & salt with some olive oil, till translucent about 5 minutes on medium. Now add artichokes cut side down to brown and absorb the beautiful aroma about 3 minutes.
Third, Add water till artichokes are covered about 1/2 inch from the top of them. Now add the chicken seasoning. (if you don't have the seasoning, substitute the water and seasoning for chicken broth). Cover, and let boil until tender about 30+min.
10 Crackers
1tbs Butter
1 garlic (minced or chopped)
1/2 c Mayonnaise
1 tsp Garlic powder/ onion
1/4c Parmesan Cheese
While artichokes are boiling, crush any leftover crackers (whole-wheat, Ritz, Gorgonzola) anything you have on hand, set aside. Now take butter and garlic and place in microwave for 30 seconds, or until bubbly and aromatic. Now add rest of the remaining ingredients, and mix.
Once the artichokes are tender (leaves release easily from heart), Drain and place in a 9X13" pan cut face up. now spoon about a 1/2 tbs of the mayonnaise sauce into each hole (where the choke use to be) and brush the cut side lightly with the mixture as well. Then pat on 1tbs of cracker crumbs on each artichoke.
Bake at 350 for 10 min or until brown, or low broil. TaDA!
