About

Young, sweet artichokes are one of the delights of early summer. This recipe keeps their shapes more or less intact, but adds white wine, herbs and butter for a luxurious, special treatment. Small, new season artichokes are best. If using larger ones, increase the cooking time and test by inserting a knife into the middle (they should be soft when cooked).
