I vividly keep in mind the primary time I tasted uncooked poivrade artichokes, it was at my mother-in-law’s brother’s in Mougins. I am not usually very keen on artichokes however I actually appreciated these little poivrade artichokes, additionally known as purple artichokes, eaten uncooked in a salad! I reduce them into skinny strips lengthwise to have a pleasant presentation. It’s needed to decide on the smallest in order that they’re tender. A number of shavings of parmesan, chopped basil, a drizzle of excellent olive oil and you do not want extra to take pleasure in!
