Time 55m

Yield 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 sprigs parsley
4 garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
2 lemons, cut in half
1/4 cup white wine (or use white grape juice)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 quart water
salt and pepper
2 whole artichokes

Steps:

  • Put the parsley, garlic, bay leaves, lemons, wine, oil and water in a large pot and bring to a simmer. Season the liquid with salt and pepper.
  • In the meantime prepare the artichokes:
  • Wash artichokes under cold water. Using a heavy stainless steel knife, cut off the stems close to the base. Pull off the lower petals that are small and tough. Cut off the top inch of the artichoke and rub with half a lemon to preserve the green color. Or you may put the artichokes in water that has some lemon juice in it. If you wish, trim the thorny tips of the petals with kitchen shears.
  • Place the artichokes in the steaming broth, bottom up. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. The artichokes are done when a knife is inserted into the base and there is no resistance.
  • To eat, pull off a leaf and scrape the meat off the tender end with your front teeth. Dip the ends of the leaves in lemon juice and melted butter if desired. When you reach the center cone of purple prickly leaves, remove it. This is the choke that protects the heart. Now, scrape away the thistle fuzz covering the artichoke heart. The heart is the meatiest and in my opinion, the best part of the artichoke. Steamed artichokes may be served hot or cold. Enjoy!
  • You may dip the artichoke in mayonnaise that has lemon added to it, or butter and lemon juice. Yum!

The artichokes were a bit tough, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try steaming them for a longer amount of time next time.

The artichokes were a bit too salty for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The artichokes were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try steaming them for a shorter amount of time next time.
