Artichokes with green sauce and cockles

Do you know the benefits of artichokes? They are many and very good. For example, properties digestive, diuretic, reduces the cholesterol, regulates intestinal transit, improves the digestive process, promotes hypertension, It has a high fiber content, has a satiating effect, and a large number of vitamins and minerals, and it is even believed that it may be beneficial to combat some types of Cancer. So I didn't want to wait any longer to show you this great recipe.

We are going to prepare the artichokes with a delicious green sauce for dipping bread and some delicious cockles. It is a curious combination but very very rich.

The most important point when working with artichokes is that they are of good quality and that they are fresh (when you buy them make sure that the leaves are very well closed and hard) and that their color is bright green. And, of course, clean them very well. We must remove all the outside sheets that are hard and also the tip. You will see that they stay almost half way, it seems like a lot of waste, but if we don't clean them well then they won't be pleasant to the palate. In addition, we must split it in half and remove the lint from the inside. It's a bit laborious, but it doesn't take long either.
