While fresh artichokes signal the arrival of spring, many begin turning their attention to artichokes right around this time of year. In the spirit of artichoke-ing all year round, many of these recipes use jarred artichokes that are available year round. The vegetable is perhaps most notable in dip form, but there are many other ways to prepare it. Whether you have a minute to whip up a tapenade for guests or want to impress your family with a golden, crispy, fried appetizer, these artichoke recipes offer something for every occasion.
