How do you steam an artichoke in the mircowave?We Answered:
I found a great website for you. Here is how you do it:First you must prepare the artichoke. Here is how it is done:
Start by washing the Artichoke under cold, running water.
Trim the end of the stem to desired length, such as 1 inch. Remember the stem is an extension of the Artichoke Heart and is edible!
Trim the top of the Artichoke by cutting off 1/4 of the top (about an inch) and discard.
Use scissors to trim rest of thorns off the top of each Artichoke petal – only if desired. (This is not necessary to have a great eating experience.)
To preserve the color, immediately rub any cut surface of the Artichoke with lemon juice to prevent browning caused by oxidation. (Optional)
Place Artichoke “stem up†in a deep, microwave-safe bowl.
Add 1-2 inches of water. Cover bowl with microwavable plate or with plastic wrap.
Jumbo sized Artichoke: Cook on high for 12-15 minutes.
Medium sized Artichoke: Cook on high for 7-10 minutes.
Depending on the size and quantity of Artichokes you are cooking, it may be necessary to heat an additional 1-5 minutes to obtain complete tenderness throughout the Artichoke, as microwave oven cooking times may vary. Keep covered and let the Artichoke stand for 5 minutes prior to serving.

How often should I water my artichoke plant?We Answered:
Artichokes require frequent irrigation during the growing season. Moisture deficiency will result in loose buds of inferior quality. On the other hand, artichokes won't tolerate standing in water, so plant the artichokes either on mounds or in rows with irrigation furrows. Irrigate the artichokes about once a week; irrigate more often in warm areas and less often in areas with heavy soil. In other words you need to water often just make sure that the water drains or absorbs so there is no standing water.Wallace Said:
How do you make an artichoke baked whole in the oven?We Answered:
Best way is to steam them.We fill them with flavored breadcrumbs( you got to jab them in there) and then fill a pot maybe 1/4 of the way with water and stand the artichokes up in the pot( one against the other).
Drizzle olive oil over them and turn on the fire, cover( leave the cover a little off the pot so it doesn't overflow).
When the water starts to boil, lower it to simmer.
Breadcrumbs should be seasoned with Romano cheese, granulated garlic, salt( pepper if desired) and parsley.

Can i find marinated artichoke hearts in the store?We Answered:
Yes they are sold that way, usually the ones you want are under oil in a small clear jar. Aurora makes them...those are the best ones for pizza. I even love to eat that with tuna and olives and tomato as a salad...come to think of it you can make that a pasta salad if you like too. (Where I don't know I'm in Canada...Sobey's has them here and No Frills...any italian store will carry them too!)The stuff in the cans I've never tried...I don't really like anything that comes in a can. Usually buy frozen or under oil! You should try pickled eggplant if you like the artichoke hearts. Similar type thing. Actually you want a pizza to die for bbq the chinese eggplant (skinny long kind) and put that on pizza. You can just slice it paper thin if not and put it on the pizza.
I like feta cheese and broccoli on that kind of pizza you're talking about too. Roasted red peppers are good too, under oil if you can find the ready to go ones or just roast yourself and freeze the whole pepper and pull one out when you need it.
