Hey guys I'm going to show you how to peel and clean an artichoke.
Start by removing the tough outer leaves with your hands until you reach the pale yellow leaves inside.
Keep in mind artichokes turn black very quickly.
To counter that use a lemon in half and rub the artichoke frequently.
Trim the top off.
Then instead of cutting the stem off, break it and pull it.
It will come out with fibres.
Using a small knife, circle around the base and remove the green bits covering the heart.
Finally use a teaspoon and remove all the fibres from the heart.
Place in cold and citrusy water.
And that is how to prepare an artichoke.
