Pork with Artichoke with Coconut Milk

Artichoke are usually boiled or steamed, most of the edible part are on the hearth, the fibrous outer petals are peeled one at a time and discarded until the inner petals are reached, the petal stem is then dip in a mayonnaise and using your teeth the petal’s soft stem base is scraped out from the fibrous petals.

Click this link for more information about artichoke. For my recipe, to prepare the artichoke I just cut the tip at about 1/3 of the size of the artichoke this will expose the softer petals of the hearth. Then remove the fibrous petals until the hearth is reached, the remaining petals are then trimmed similar to trimming a banana blossoms. To make the dish I cooked it with a lot of pork similar to the cooking procedure of Bicol Express. Here is the recipe on how I cooked my Ginataang Baboy with Artichoke, Pork with Artichoke with Coconut Milk.

Ingredients:

2 to 3 pieces artichoke
1/2 kilo pork belly, boiled and cut into large strips
1 big can coconut milk
2 tbsp. bagoong alamang
1/2 head garlic, chopped
1 large size onion, chopped
2-3 red and green chili sliced
1 lemon
salt and pepper
cooking oil

Cooking procedure:

To prepare the artichoke cut/trim the tip about 1/3 of the artichoke length to expose the softer petals of the hearth. Trim the fibrous part of the remaining petals similar to trimming a banana blossom, what remains is the hearth of the artichoke. Now cut the hearth in half to exposed the choke, scrape out the feathery choke using a spoon and discard, trim and peel the stem. Soak the cleaned artichoke in water mixed with the lemon juice to prevent from discoloration, keep aside. Repeat procedure with the rest of the artichoke. Using a medium pan boil enough water to cover the artichoke, bring to a boil and add in the artichoke, boil for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the type of artichoke. Remove artichoke drain, cut into strips, and keep aside.
