After cooking artichokes the outer leaves are usually peeled off and discarded. Although, these leaves are delicious and can be enjoyed by inserting the leaves in your mouth and simply scraping the flesh off with your teeth. Yummy!
It is also necessary for this recipe to remove the choke which is the heart of the vegetable. Just open up the leaves until the centre core is reached and pull it out. It looks much nicer without the choke too.
Then the rest of the vegetable can be chopped up for preparing the salad.
