Boil artichokes in large pot of water with some butter (I used smart choice blend) some California style garlic salt and a squeeze of lemon juice if you have it, until tender, it can take up to an hour for several large artichokes, remove from pot with large tongs and drain upside down on paper towels.
Chop fresh garlic into some mayo (I used smart choice mayo too), stir that up and put back in the fridge until you are ready for it.
Remove the paper towels, turn the artichokes over and mash down on them to make them 'bloom'
Enjoy your snack :)
If you've never eaten an artichoke, what you do is pull off a leaf, dip the bottom of the leaf into your dip and scrape the soft inner part of the leaf off with your bottom teeth and toss the rest of the leaf...
when you get down to the heart - remember to remove the fluffy choke part - it usually pulls off quite nicely - then slice up the heart and fight over it lol.
