I don't want fibers in this kind of dish at all! I may be consulting with you about ths if that's okay. I know what you mean about the stem thingy. I want to do some experimenting with stuff like that and make a report on my findings, because I'm a frustrated scientist and all. :-) @29 James, I was not really happy with the results of my first experience at cleaning artichokes.

I'm picking some up from my local farm on Thursday. Wonder if there'll be any left to try this. Maybe I'll get extra. Looks too good to miss..... I was always taught to bend the artichoke stems till they snap - that way the stem pulls out some of those fibrous 'hairs' out of the base of the stem which are always annoying when you eat them like the 'string' on celery. And I don't bother pulling the leaves off I cut them with a strong serrated knife after watching the market stall holders in Italy - there's a quick way for everything.

I have never tried shin of beef, but it makes total sense that it would be a good cut for a slow braise. I'll have to give it a try. :-) Hi Rhylesgranny, welcome!

I love to make stews. Have you ever tried shin of beef? I find it the most forgiving of all the cuts for long slow cooking. You have a lovely blog. I will come back and visit.

I love this recipe- I've made dishes similar to this but not with artichokes. I've tagged you for a meme if you're up to it. Hey Lulu!
