In Thailand Haw Mok is steamed in banana leaves. Artichokes, with the centers removed, make delightfully ornamental containers, although the substitution is not quite authentic. Allow one stuffed artichoke per person.

Ingredients

6 artichokes
Boiling salted water
<

Method

Wash the artichokes. With a cleaver or large knife, lop off about 1" of the artichoke tops. With kitchen scissors, clip off the ends of all the leaves on each artichoke. Place these edible plants in a very large saucepan of boiling, salted water. Cover and continue cooking over high heat for 20 minutes, or until a fork can be inserted easily into the base. Remove from heat, drain and let stand
