Baby Artichoke Antipasto
Baby artichokes grow on the same plant as large artichokes; they're just the smaller buds. Prep and Cook Time: about 45 minutes, plus overnight chilling. Notes: Mozzarella balls come in various sizes. Those labeled ciliegine (Italian for "little cherries") can be used whole; cut larger balls into chunks.
