Producer

These babies come from Clive Martin's farm in Cambridgeshire. Clive's kept us in amazing artichokes and asparagus for years, and has grown a lot of rhubarb for us on his Fenland farm this year, too.

Storage & prep

At the very beginning of the season you could eat these whole! Now they've started to mature a little you'll want to strip back the leaves as you would a normal artichoke. As soon as you cut into them they start to brown so have half a lemon at the ready to squeeze over them to stop the browning process. Steam whole or halve and griddle or barbecue to bring out their sweet nutty flavour. Then eat them from the inside out (you might want to leave a couple of the outer leaves behind) making sure to enjoy all of that young artichoke heart. Don’t forget to wash your fruit and veg before use.
