** "The most superbly prepared artichokes I've ever tasted." Tavola Calda
da Alfredo, New York, NY Slice tops from artichokes. Remove tough outer
leaves and cut off stems to make flat base. Trim off thorny tips using
scissors. Rub cut edges with lemon halves. Drop artichokes and lemon into
lg pot filled with enough boiling salted water to cover. Cover partially
and parboil 10 mins. Remove with slotted spoon and turn upside down to
drain. When cool, gently spread leaves, remove fibrous chokes from center
with spoon. Preheat oven 400F. Combine consomme, oil, parsley, garlic, salt
and pepper in bowl. Place artichokes upright in baking dish and pour
consomme mixture evenly over top. Bake until outer leaves begin to turn
copper color, 25-35 mins. Baste and broil until tops brown, 3 mins. Serve
in soup plates with remaining liquid. S: Fav Rest Rs, Bon A
