Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cover artichoke with water and cook about 45 minutes until fork pierces through stem and leaf pulls off easily.
Step 2
Remove to a plate. Dip leaves in Miracle Whip, and pull leaf through clamped teeth.
Step 3
Don't eat the choke which is the prickly part in the center of the artichoke, and around the heart which is the best part of the artichoke. It just peels away, and yes you can eat the stem it's good too.
Step 4
Some people dip the leaves in melted butter but that's not how we did it.
