How to make no fuss artichokes

Place you artichokes on a cutting board.

Using a very sharp knife, cut the stem down to a nubbin.

Cut the top of the artichoke off as well.

Mix together your crushed garlic, a stick of butter and about 1/3 cup of Parmesan to create a paste.

Smush the mixture into the grooves of the artichoke.

Place your prepared artichokes into a crock pot.

Add 1 cup white wine to the basin.

Add 1 cup water to basin.

Sprinkle with salt.

A dash of pepper and cover.

Place on high for 4 hours.

Artichokes are done when a fork will easily go into the stem.

Serve.

I like mine as is but you can dip the leaves in butter or aioli.
