Best 11 Steamed Artichokes With Garlic Mayonnaise Recipes

SIMPLE STEAMED ARTICHOKES

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.

STEAMED WHOLE ARTICHOKES WITH SPICY LEMON CAPER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place each artichoke on its side on a flat surface. Use a serrated knife to saw off the stem at the base of the artichoke so it can sit upright on a plate without falling over once cooked.
• In a large pot, add 3 inches of water. Insert a steamer basket. Place the artichokes top-down in the basket, wedged in a single layer. Cover. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. If the pot runs out of water while cooking, simply add more to the bottom.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, oil, capers, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the chives.
• Serve the artichokes with the dipping sauce.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH HARISSA MAYONNAISE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the artichokes: Fill a pot (large enough to hold both the artichokes) with 2 inches of water. Add salt to taste and the parsley sprigs and lemon slices if using.
• Trim each artichoke by holding it firmly on its side and slicing off the top 1/2 inch or so, then cutting off the stem close to the base. Remove the smaller tough leaves around the base of the artichoke. Rinse the artichoke, separating the leaves as you do this. If you wish, you can cut off the tips of each leaf with scissors.
• Put the artichokes in the pot (the stem ends can be up or down, it doesn't matter), cover the pot and bring the water to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer until a knife slides easily into the base of an artichoke or a leaf comes out very easily when pulled, 25 to 40 minutes. Make sure the water doesn't evaporate; check after about 20 minutes and add more if needed.
• For the dipping sauce: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, blend together the mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice and harissa. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the artichokes stem-side down on plates, making sure there is room on the plates to discard the leaves (or place a communal bowl in the middle of the table for people to toss in used leaves). Serve the sauce in tiny bowls on the side.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH TARRAGON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Squeeze juice of 1 lemon into a large bowl of cold water.
• Trim stem of 1 artichoke flush with bottom. Snap off outer leaves. Using kitchen shears, cut off tips of remaining leaves. Place in lemon water. Repeat.
• Drain artichokes, and place in a pot in a single snug layer (in batches if necessary). Add 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and steam until tender, about 35 minutes. Remove from pot. Let cool. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, zest and juice remaining lemon. Whisk zest, 2 tablespoons juice, the mayonnaise, tarragon, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Serve alongside artichokes.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH MAYONNAISE-MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Place one to two inches of water into a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and whole peppercorns to the water.
• Insert the steaming basket and place artichokes and trimmed stems inside the basket. If you don't have a steamer, it also works to place the artichokes directly into the water, bottoms down.
• With lid off, heat until water boils, then put lid on and turn heat down to low to maintain a simmer.
• Steam or simmer for 25-30 minutes or until a sharp knife can easily pierce bottoms of the artichokes near the stems. To be sure, test them all. Larger artichokes will take longer to cook. Remove hot artichokes from the pot with tongs.
• To make the sauce: Mix about one part of yellow mustard into six parts of good mayonnaise. The sauce should be light yellow and not taste like either mayonnaise or mustard, but like a new sauce all its own. Add more of either ingredient as needed to get the "new" sauce.
