Artichokes... 4 for $0 ~ Monday, May 04, 2020

We did some urban forraging. There's a big patch of artichokes growing wild between Belmont and Redwood Shores--it's by the Shores end of the wavy bike bridge over the 101 by Ralston.

They're easy to get to but those plants are quite poky.

Trimming the spikes is a bit of a job.

Bowl full of ouch!

Cook in a pressure cooker for about 20 mins.

Yum!

But "debug" them first :/

Also to note: they're pretty small, so each leaf (petal?) just has a tiny bit to scrape off. But the hearts are pretty good.
