Aioli Platter

1. Spoon some of the aioli sauce into the center of each artichoke.

2. Place an aioli-filled artichoke in the middle of each plate, and arrange the cod, carpaccio, prepared vegetables, and eggs around it in a spoke-like fashion, making sure each plate has some of all. Sprinkle with parsley and capers.
