For years I've walked by those packages of baby artichokes at Trader Joe's not willing to try them because they just didn't seem worth the effort.

I'm glad to report that I was completely wrong!

They actually take less time to prepare than regular artichokes because they cook up in only a few minutes versus 40 minutes for globe artichokes.

Even though they are called "baby artichokes," they aren't actually immature artichokes, but simply a different variety that reaches maturity at a much smaller size than regular artichokes.

Unlike larger artichokes, more parts of these small ones are edible. You don't have to scoop out the choke, you can eat it with the rest of the heart and tender leaves.You can also simmer the discarded leaves in water for an hour to make an artichoke vegetable stock for soup, so nothing goes to waste.

Artichokes pair well with something acidic, such as lemon or balsamic vinegar, and something creamy, such as mayonnaise or Parmesan cheese.

These sautéed baby artichokes are easy to prepare and combine flavors that work naturally well with artichokes. They can be eaten alone, mixed in with pasta or risotto, or baked onto pizza.
