Artichokes in a crawfish boil
Posted on 4/17/15 at 8:01 am

Just read about putting artichokes in with the corn, potatoes, mushrooms, and onions...Anyone know if you boil them whole, or half them?
If you cut them and remove the choke then..does the artichoke fall apart similar to the onion?
TIA.

We just throw them in whole. They need to boil 25-30 minutes.

I usually just throw them in whole if I'm forced to add them

Forced?
I'll do just 1 since it's just me and the wife...just to see if we like them or not...
Do they soak up the seasonings well?

my latest favorite is broccoli...but that just goes in with the soak

seasoning really gets into the crevices of the artichokes. It's awesome. I always throw some in, whole. Don't halve.

In my last boil I added sweet potatoes and asparagus. Both were pretty tasty and I think they might be part of my usual boils now.

LOL. I'm Catholic. Typical crawfish boils occurred on Good Friday when I was in Louisiana...no meat.
Pretty traditional...mushrooms were just added back in 2005 or so.

Artichokes are great. I put them in with the potatoes, which I boil for 10-15 minutes before putting in the crawfish. This works perfect every time

waste of a perfectly good artichoke

So you're not a fan of the boil infused choke?
Do tell why, please?

artichokes have a delicate flavor and should be boiled or steamed in water, then served with melted butter and salt only.

Somebody on here was talking about putting a pineapple with the boil a while back... I've done artichokes, but never a pineapple. As far as the veggies go, the artichoke ends up being my least favorite (except for the garlic... I don't like just eat chunks of garlic).

My brother had some boil-infused mushrooms for the first time on Good Friday and he almost feel out of his chair with pleasure...

Brussel sprouts are good too.

I throw a cabbage in mine

We threw a pineapple in our boil and it was amazing.
Artichoke and brussel spouts are money too

I didn't find it to be anything special.
My favorite non traditional vegetable in a boil will always be cauliflower. But you have to put it in the potato sack because it falls to pieces.
