Organic Cosmetically-Challenged Globe Artichoke

These Organic Globe Artichokes are the best of California cuisine and surprisingly versatile. While they are easily enjoyed by boiling with lemon and eating with a garlic aioli, one should experiment with soups, dips and using the hearts to top a home-baked pizza. These Organic Cosmetically-Challenged Artichokes have been blemished by the recent heat wave. That means they may look a bit ugly on the outside, but are just as sweet on the inside.
