{"product_id":"art2a-bal","title":"Artichokes","description":"The best-tasting globe artichokes in the country are grown in Castroville, California. Artichokes are very, very sensitive to any temperature fluctuations so supplies can be spotty - even during the height of spring .Green Globe chokes should be heavy and firm. A little blemishing is just frosting and won\u0026amp;amp;#39;t affect flavor. To tell if an artichoke is really fresh, give it a good squeeze. If it squeaks, it\u0026amp;amp;#39;s peak. Trim off spiky tips all around and lop off a little from the top and the base, removing the stem (so it sits upright in the pot while cooking). Stuff chopped garlic \u0026amp;amp; Italian parsley all over, maybe adding breadcrumbs spiked with grated Parmigiano . Place in dutch oven, sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour e.v. olive oil over all. Pour a mix of water and chicken stock halfway up the sides. Bring to boil, then cover and simmer about 30-40 minutes depending on their size. The leaves should feel very tender as you pull them through your teeth. Don\u0026amp;amp;#39;t forget to peel the stem you cut off earlier and throw it into the pot during cooking - it is meaty, luscious treat.","brand":"Ocean Mist Farms","offers":[{"title":"CTN | 12 CT","offer_id":54134380069183,"sku":"ART2A-BAL-CTN","price":77.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/7877\/6127\/files\/art0.original-6dc10d3a0b_90495491-248d-4cc6-a94f-ccfddfd66ae6.jpg?v=1784459381","url":"https:\/\/onatru.com\/products\/art2a-bal","provider":"Onatru ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
