Green Globe Artichoke
Green Globe Artichoke is as stunning in the garden as it is on the plate — dramatic, silvery-green leaves frame each plant as the dramatic flower buds develop into the tender, nutty, subtly sweet artichokes that are among the most elegant vegetables in Mediterranean cooking. Steam them whole and serve with drawn butter or aioli, roast the hearts in olive oil, or braise them with wine and herbs for a dish that rewards every bit of the patience required to grow them. A perennial worth every year of investment.
