 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    8      medium        artichokes
    1      cup           crab meat
      1/4  cup           chopped ripe olives
      3/4  cup           olive oil
    2      to 3          lemons
                         salt and pepper
 
 Remove the tough outer leaves of artichokes. Cut off part of stems and
 about one inch from the tips. Cut artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop
 out the choke. Drop rest of artichokes in boiling salted water, seasoned
 with the juice of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Simmer for 30 minutes
 or until tender. Drain well and put into a salad bowl. Add crab meat and
 chopped olives. Whip oil and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix
 all ingredients well. 
 Makes 4-6 servings.
