Artichoke

aka. carciofo (Italy), alcachofa (Spain), kharshūfa (Arabic), artichaut (France).

Domesticated variety of wild cardoon. Remove the hairy 'choke' at the center of the blossom as well as the tough outermost leaves at the base. Chop off the thorny tips of the exposed leaves. The topmost inch or two of stem are very tender and tasty, just peel away the base and outer tough outer layer. Immerse cut artichokes in cold water and lemon juice immediately to prevent browning. Heart and innermost leaves can eaten raw if sliced very thinly with mandolin or food processor. Most common preparation is to halve, sear artichokes in butter, and braise with stock until tender. The tender center or artichoke-heart is the most prized portion. Leaves are not edible whole, just scrape away tender base of the leaves with your bottom front teeth and discard the fibrous part.

1.
Prep artichokes: Cut in half. Scoop out hairy 'choke'. Peel away outer layer of stem. Cut off pointy tips of outer leaves. 2. Steam artichokes ~20 min till knife tender. 3. Brush with oil, then grill ~7 min each side. 4. Cube bread and toss with olive oil, place in oven at 350°F ~15 minutes. (you are drying out the bread so that it maintains integrity when it soaks up the vinaigrette) 5. Remove and set aside the tough leaves from the artichoke hearts. 6. Make vinaigrette with 3:1 oil to vinegar ratio (add any extras: herbs, capers, shallot, mustard, garlic) 7. Toss bread cubes, artichoke hearts, sliced olives, cubed tomatoes and their juices, and vinaigrette. 8. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Add manchego and more basil just before serving.

Mediterranean Roasted Artichokes.

Side-salad to pair with chicken or salmon or loaf of rustic bread.

Here's a recipe.
Artichoke-Olive Dip on Crostini.

Use any of the ingredients listed here depending on what you have on hand or available at your local market.
Grilled Artichokes. Trim outer leaves. Peel stem. Halve lengthwise. Remove choke. Boil in salted water ~12 min till knife-tender. Brush with oil. Grill~7 min per side.
Notes: Baby artichokes can be trimmed, soaked,  sliced very thin and eaten raw. Whole artichokes should have outer leaves removed and rough tops of leaves trimmed, and of course remove the hairy choke part before grilling or braising. The heart is the most tender part of the artichoke. The stem is as very nearly as good as the heart so don't discard, just peel away the tough outer layer. The base of the tough leaves are also tender and are traditionally eaten by scraping against your bottom teeth.

Avocado

aka. Ahuacate (Mexico)

. Staple food in Mexico, Central and South America since 500 B.C. and prized by the Aztecs as an aphrodisiac (ahuacate is the Aztec name for testicle). Amazingly, avocados are berries (botanically speaking) that were spread by now extinct, giant ground-dwelling ground sloths who ate them whole and passed on their large seeds whole. There are approximately 400 varieties of avocado, all best eaten raw. Obviously the seed and rough alligator-skin-shell are not to be eaten. Prepare avocados as close as possible to serving plated dishes as possible because they brown quickly. A squeeze of lemon or lime will slow but not stop the browning.

Kale

Tips on tenderising kale:  Always remove the ribs and stem from the leaves. If using the raw leaves either chopped or shredded in a salad, you can toss them with some lemon juice (or cider vinegar) and a pinch of salt for five to ten minutes to soften the leaves a bit before tossing with a vinaigrette. When sautéing kale, make sure they go into the pan damp so the steam softens them. The ribs and stems are very tough can be chopped and cooked separately by blanching, roasting, braising, or pickling.

Both the bulbous stem and leaves are edible, but the bulb is generally prized. The leaves can be prepared similar to kale, and are best sautéed. The thick fibrous outer layer of the bulb is not palatable and impedes cooking so and must be peeled away for both fresh and cooked preparations.

Potato

In Progress. Coming soon(er or later), maybe. The problem here is that potatoes go with just about everything, can be prepared so many ways, and store so well they can be eaten year-round. Choosing a handful of flavor combinations seems completely arbitrary. Fact is, I'm afraid to tackle this one – afraid the exercise will spiral out of control and I'll be left with a website dedicated to thousands of potato dishes. Let's just skip this one, K?
