STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON BUTTER
Large, plump artichokes are generally better for steaming than smaller ones. They may take longer to soften, but you'll end up with plenty of meaty petals to pull off and dip into the lemon butter. This recipe gives instructions for steaming the artichokes in a traditional pot, but a pressure cooker (either electric or stovetop) is a faster option if you have one. See the Note below for instructions.

Steps:
- Pull off any brown or very tough outer leaves from one artichoke. Use a sharp knife to cut off the top 1 inch of artichoke, then rub with the cut side of the lemon. Use kitchen shears or scissors to cut the pointy tops off the remaining outer layer of leaves. Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife to peel the stem down to its tender pale-colored core; immediately rub the stem with a lemon half. Use your fingers to separate the center leaves to expose the fuzzy pale choke sitting on top of the heart. Use a grapefruit spoon (or other spoon) to scoop out the choke, and rub a little lemon juice over the exposed flesh. Repeat with the remaining artichokes.
- Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of water, place a steamer basket inside, and bring water to a simmer. Place the artichokes bottoms down on the rack, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer over low heat until you can easily pull off an artichoke leaf, 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the steamer basket and transfer to a serving platter.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic and salt. Slowly whisk in butter. To serve, have everyone pull off the leaves and dunk the meaty bottoms into the lemon butter, swirling to mix butter with each dip (the butter will separate as it sits).

BAKED ARTICHOKES WITH GARLIC AND LEMON
Excellent change for those who are tired of the old steamed artichokes with mayo. These are delicious alone with no dip, but, if you must, I find that butter melted with a little lemon zest and juice is a better compliment than the old heavy mayo standby. I know the "servings" says for 4, but, I can eat a whole one by myself!!!!

Steps:
- Rinse artichokes under cold water, and use a sharp knife to cut the top 1/3 off of each one. Trim the stems to about 1 inch, and remove the smaller leaves from around the base. Use scissors to remove any remaining leaf tips. Cut each artichoke in half from the bottom to the top, then use a spoon to scrape out the hairy choke. Rinse again to remove any residual hairs.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and saute for about 1 minute to flavor the butter. Arrange artichoke halves cut-side down in the skillet. Saute for about 5 or 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Reduce heat to low, and pour in about 1/4 cup of water, cover, and let steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender. A fork should easily pierce the stem.

Steps:
- Trim stems from 4 large artichokes (about 2 1/2 pounds), leaving about 1/2" long. Snap off any browned leaves, then remove top fourth of artichokes; discard. If you like, use kitchen scissors to snip off any thorns.
- Bring 2" of water to a simmer in a large pot. Fit with a steamer basket and place artichokes inside; season with salt and pepper. Cover and steam until leaves pull out easily and hearts are tender (a paring knife will meet with no resistance), 70-80 minutes. Remove from heat; squeeze 1 halved lemon over.
- Mix 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter and 1 finely grated garlic clove in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve with artichokes.
Tips:
- Choose the right artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size and have tightly closed leaves.
- Prepare the artichokes properly: Cut off the stem and about 1 inch of the top of the artichoke. Then, use a pair of kitchen shears to trim the sharp tips off of the leaves.
- Cook the artichokes until they are tender: You can steam, boil, or bake the artichokes. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose, but the artichokes should be tender when you can easily pierce them with a fork.
- Make the lemon-garlic butter sauce: While the artichokes are cooking, make the lemon-garlic butter sauce. This sauce is made with melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley.
- Serve the artichokes with the lemon-garlic butter sauce: Once the artichokes are cooked, serve them with the lemon-garlic butter sauce. You can also serve them with additional lemon wedges and melted butter.
