Fresh, canned or frozen, artichokes are one of my favorite vegetables. A big fresh artichoke, steamed and served with lemon juice, stands on its own as a starter course. Far more often, I'll just open a jar of marinated artichokes and use them to dress up a tossed salad. Here are some of my favorite recipes that feature artichokes.
Artichoke-Wild Rice Salad
Baby Food Processor
1 16-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups cooked wild rice
2 6-ounce jars of marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small sweet onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro or flat parsley
1 teaspoon chile powder
pinch cayenne, to taste
1/4 rice vinegar
1/2 cup yogurt
Combine all ingredients and chill.
4-6 servings
Spinach-Artichoke Dip or Dressing
1 10-ounce bag baby spinach leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can white beans, drained
1 bunch green onions, sliced (white part)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
pinch cayenne, to taste
juice of one lemon
2 6-ounce jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped fine
Place all ingredients except the artichokes in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Put the puree in a serving bowl and stir in the chopped artichoke hearts. Serve it with your favorite vegetable dippers or use it to dress a tossed salad.
Yield: About 3 cups
Artichoke-Chick Pea Soup
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups bouillon
1 teaspoon ground coriander
pinch cayenne, or to taste
2 cups tomato sauce
2 16-ounce cans artichoke hearts
1 16-ounce can chick peas
1/2 cup chopped flat parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges
Bring the onions, garlic, bouillon, spices and tomato sauce to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat and simmer 20 minutes or until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the artichokes, chick peas and parsley and simmer 2-3 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and ground pepper to taste.

Equipped with an extra-large feed tube, a small feed tube, a dough blade, and slicing and shredding discs, this 600-watt, 7-cup, midsize food processor provides all the power, versatility, and capacity needed by most households. Cooks experienced with Cuisinart food processors will welcome the new feed tube and pusher assembly, which are easy to use--at 4-1/4 inches by 2-3/4 inches, the large, oval feed tube accommodates whole fruits and vegetables. The small, cylindrical tube is located inside the pusher assembly and has its own hollow pusher, which removes with a twist. On the bottom of the small pusher is a pin-hole for dribbling oil into the bowl while making mayonnaise. The Lexan work bowl is virtually shatterproof and impervious to heat or cold. There's the familiar stainless-steel chopping blade and a dough blade, which easily kneads up to 1-1/2 pounds of dough. Stainless-steel slicing and shredding discs, a plastic spatula shaped for the work bowl, a recipe booklet, and an instruction video showing basic use, tips and techniques, and preparation of some recipes from the booklet complete the package. (Existing Cusinart blades and discs also fit this machine.) Cuisinart warranties the motor against defects for 10 years and the remaining parts for three years. --Fred Brack
