Tips: For the artichoke not to lose its nutritional value, you should do the cleaning and peeling procedures immediately before cooking your dish. Cut the blackened hard leaves of the artichoke in the head part from the place closest to the fleshy part, but not transversely, so as not to touch the fleshy part. Then, while cutting the leaves of the artichoke in the dish areas, turn the artichoke around and cut it neatly with the help of a knife. Take the remaining outer leaves and their hard parts. Remove the hairs located on the inside of the artichoke by scraping or carving with a spoon. Rub the inside of the dish with lemon and soak it in lemon water so that it does not darken.
