Artichoke castels can be eaten in many ways, both as an aperitif and a main course.
As an aperitif, for example, you can dip the leaves in different sauces (vinaigrette, mayonnaise, yogurt with herbs and spices etc.) or transform the hearts into caviar! As a main course, they can be eaten whole, stuffed or the cooked hearts can be used in vegetarian recipes (au gratin with cheese) or with meat or fish (tagine, stir-fries, pizza etc.).
