Greet guests California-style with a platter of these "Baby Artichokes With Lemon Mayonnaise" (Chronicle Books), by Tori Ritchie, and it will be empty in no time! BABY ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON MAYONNAISE Makes 24 portions or 12 servings If you can't find small artichokes, trim six large artichokes, remove the fuzzy chokes and then cut each heart into quarters. 3 lemons 24 small artichokes, about 3 inches tall Lemon Mayonnaise 1 large egg yolk or 1 large egg Salt 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup neutral vegetable oil, such as safflower Cut two of the lemons in half and squeeze their juice into a bowl filled with cold water, then drop in the squeezed halves. Set the bowl of lemon water next to your work area. Working with one artichoke at a time, tear off the dark green leaves until you reach the tender yellow leaves. With a paring knife, trim the bottoms flat (or if there is a stem, pare off the tough green fibers and leave stem on) and pare away any tough green patches of leaf. Then trim off the green tips about 1/2 inch from the top. Drop each trimmed artichoke into the bowl of lemon water as it is prepared to prevent discoloring. Drain the artichokes, place them on a steamer rack in a pan above simmering water, and steam, covered, until a knife slides easily through the base (heart) of the artichoke, about eight minutes. Transfer artichokes to a plate and let them cool to room temperature. To make the mayonnaise: Juice the remaining lemon. In a blender, puree the egg yolk with the lemon juice and a hefty pinch of salt. (If using a food processor, use a whole egg). With the machine running, gradually pour in the olive oil in a very thin, steady stream. Then slowly pour in the vegetable oil in a thin stream. When all of the oil is incorporated, transfer the mayonnaise to a small bowl and season it to taste with more lemon juice and salt. Serve it alongside the artichokes. (If made ahead, cover and refrigerate the mayonnaise and artichokes separately for up to one day). Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.
