5: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6: Add the pieces of artichoke and cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
7: Tip the contents of the frying pan into the salad bowl, add the finely chopped chives and stir once more. Your salad is ready. Serve immediately to keep its "warm" character.
Remarks
If you don't have purple artichokes, you can use normal green artichoke hearts, cut into large dice.
