Greek cuisine distinguishes between the globe artichoke and the wild variety, often referring to the latter as 'agriokinaras'.
Unlike in some Western countries where they are often steamed, in Greece, αγκινάρες are frequently braised with olive oil, lemon and parsley to create a 'ladera' dish.
The Greek αγκινάρα belongs to the same botanical family as the sunflower, which explains why the plant looks like a giant thistle before it blooms.
