ARTICHOKE GRATIN
Break off the artichoke stems, and tear off the first layer of leaves. Soak for 10 minutes in water and vinegar. Rinse under running water. Put them in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: combine the flour and butter in a saucepan (make a roux). When turning a light brown, pour in all the milk, stir until boiling. Lower the heat. Half the onion, prick with a clove, add to the sauce, with the bouquet garni, salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Simmer for 25 minutes stirring regularly. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Drain the artichokes, peel the leaves off (save them for another meal) and tear of the choke. Wrap each artichoke in a slice of ham. Lay in an gratin dish. Coat with the sauce, sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes on medium heat (350 F).
