I am making chicken cacciatore and rustic bread for Sunday dinner. I wanted a hot veg to go with these dishes. It has been a while since I made steamed artichokes.

Roasted Artichokes
My family really likes artichokes. Normally, I steam and serve them with a dill sauce. Cook’s Illustrated this month had a baked artichoke recipe that would go nicely with the Middle Eastern Feast I am making for Mother’s Day. It is so simple and hands-off; it is perfect for finishing off in the oven while I am concentrating on the barbequing the game hens. For once, I actually followed someone’s instructions.

Karl’s Turkish Artichoke, Tomato and Cucumber Salad
Adapted from a Whole Spice recipe
When Jan went to Sonoma a few months ago, she bought me some Istanbul Turkish Salad Seasoning from Whole Spice. I was planning to make a typical tomato and cucumber salad with it, but in searching the Whole Spice site I found their posted recipe. Of course, I could not make it the way they did, but it gave me ideas.

Karl’s Moroccan Lamb Stuffed Artichokes and Peppers
Adapted from a Destination Anywhere recipe
It is son-in-law Chris’ birthday week and he has asked for Moroccan. Last year I made an oxtail tajine. He loved it, but it was a bit too oily for Jan. I decided to look for something else Moroccan.

Karl’s Moroccan Oxtail Tajine
Adapted from a recipe by Mamatkamal El Mary K
This week is Chris’ Birthday. Myr is taking him out for steak on Saturday, so she wants something heavy on the vegetables. Jan really liked the Chicken Cassablanca I made last week, so she wants a North African tajine (tu-jeen). I have some French green lentils that I have wanted to try out (A Taste of History idea). Chris (who just landed from a trip to Germany) got in the last word, he wants oxtails. This I can work with.

Karl’s Moroccan Artichoke Dip
In making my Moroccan Oxtail Tajine I trimmed a bunch of artichokes down to their bases. This left we with a pile of leaves and stems that I was loathed to just throw away.
My mother, Claudia, raised me to not waste food. I feel like it is an absolute sin when, for example, a recipe for chicken stock has you boil a whole chicken with vegetables and then instructs you to throw away the “solids.” These are recipes written by people who have never been hungry a day in their lives. I simply cannot do that!

Pinch Salt
4-5 Tbs. Mayonnaise
3-4 Artichokes
½ Lemon
Directions
1. Mix first 5 ingredients well and refrigerate until serving.
2. Trim and halve artichokes. Rub cut surfaces with the lemon to prevent them from turning brown. Steam the artichokes, until a knife slides into the thickest part of the cap easily, 15 – 20 minutes.
