Preparation
- Step 1
Peel leaves from artichokes. Remove chokes with a spoon and discard. In a food processor, puree the artichoke bottoms with lemon juice until smooth. Reserve.
- Step 2
Spread the hazelnuts in one layer in a 10-inch round dish. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power 7 minutes in a large oven, or 9 minutes in a small oven. Pour the hazelnuts onto a clean kitchen towel, fold it over and rub until most of the skins are removed. Process the nuts in a food processor or blender until finely ground.
- Step 3
In an 8-cup glass measure whisk together the artichoke puree, ground nuts, broth and cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4
Heat, uncovered, at 100 percent power 6 minutes, stirring twice.
Chicken broth can be made quickly in the microwave oven. For 2 cups, place 1 pound of bones (chopped into pieces 2 to 3 inches long) in an 8-cup glass measure with 2 cups of water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power 15 minutes (20 minutes in a small oven); for 4 cups, double the quantities and cook 20 minutes (30 minutes in a small oven). Cut-up vegetables and fresh herbs may be added without changing the cooking time. Strain the broth through a sieve or a colander.

Way too long in the microwave I went with five minutes and they were starting to burn.
