Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 whole artichokes
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Cut stem from artichokes and discard, making sure the bottom of each artichoke is flat. Cut top 1 inch (or so) of the artichoke and discard. Snip the thorny ends from each artichoke leaf with a pair of kitchen scissors.
  • Fill the bottom of a pot with a couple of inches of water, adding garlic, lemon juice, and bay leaf to the water. Place a steamer basket in the pot, making sure that the water does not flow over the bottom of the steamer basket.
  • Place the artichokes in the basket, resting on the flattened bottoms.
  • Bring water to a boil, cover the pot, and cook until the leaves can be easily pulled from the artichoke, 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size, have tightly closed leaves, and no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Prepare the artichokes properly: Trim the stem and remove any tough outer leaves. Cut off the top inch or so of the artichoke to expose the choke. Using a spoon, scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center of the artichoke.
  • Steam the artichokes until tender: Place the artichokes in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for 15-20 minutes, or until the artichoke leaves are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve the artichokes with your favorite dipping sauce: Melted butter, mayonnaise, or a vinaigrette are all popular choices.
  • Enjoy the artichokes while they are still warm: Artichokes are best eaten fresh, so enjoy them as soon as they are cooked.
