Artichoke

There are a lot of buds of artichoke in my garden.
Artichoke is a perennial plant.
I planted these artichokes last year. (See the picture on top)

 

I harvested these and steam.
In England, they eat it with salt in this season.
This time, I ate it with basil sauce thinking about England.

It was a little sweet, soft and flaky texture
Artichoke has a lot of dietary fiber, it has one and half times more fiber than burdock.
I will make marinated artichoke with olive oil.
Then I will make artichoke sandwich, pizza.
Or I want to drink wine with marinated artichoke.
Hope I can get a lot of  bulbs!
