You can guard the texture of the artichokes perfectly. You actually blanche them, but cooking in court-bouillon and cooling in sweet and sour pickling liquid provides a burst of flavour.

In this component we use the Henkelman vacuum machine. This professional chamber vacuum machine allows you to package, store and prepare more efficiently.
