~ π§βππ©βπ³ ARTICHOKE with a balsamic, flax oil, garlic and parsley dip π©βπ³π§βπ~
Have you tried cooking this delicious vegetable in your Gerson Therapy protocol, itβs amazingly delicious.
β’Choose artichokes that feel heavy when you pick them up. If they feel light, they're probably a bit dried out and not as meaty as they should be.
β’The leaves should be closed with just a little separation, not flayed wide open, artichoke with wide open leaves may be old and not very tender.
Preparing the artichoke
β’Cut of the tips of the leaves with a scissor as they tend to have little thorns on the ends, this is mainly for aesthetics and also to make the artichoke easier to handle.
β’Slice about 3/4 β to an inch off the tip of the artichoke, a serrated bread knife works best for this and removed the stem.
Cooking the artichoke
β’Cook by using the Gerson boiling method (by adding distilled water to your pan to cover the artichoke) boil till leaves are tender and can be easily pulled from the base.
Eating the artichoke
β’Pull off the outer leaves one at a time, dip in the vinaigrette side down, pull by scraping through your teeth to remove the edible part and discard remaining petal. When you get to the tender inner leaves you can remove them all at once.
β’Underneath the artichoke choke is the heart which is the best part, with a spoon scrape out and discard the inedible fuzzy part covering the artichoke heart and enjoy.
