Method

Place the artichokes in a large pot with an inch of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, tightly covered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the pot and allow to cool.
Peel the leaves away from the artichokes, and trim away the choke. Place an artichoke bottom in the center of each plate.
