Wash the artichokes. Cut off the stalk and upper leaf tips with scissors. Wash the lemons and cut them into four slices. Cover the artichokes with 1 slice each at the top and bottom and tie with kitchen string. Cook the artichokes in a large pot for about 40 minutes in plenty of boiling salted water. In the meantime mix quark, mineral water and tomato paste. Wash the chives, cut them into small rolls and fold them in. Season to taste with chilli powder and salt. For the mustard vinaigrette, whisk the egg yolks and mustard. Gradually fold in the oil. Add vinegar. Peel onions and garlic, dice finely, pour over the hot stock and add to the mustard sauce. Season to taste with pepper and sugar. Drain the artichokes, remove the lemon slices. Serve hot or cold, garnished with fresh lemon and herbs. Add sauces
