Steamed Artichokes image

My favorite way to eat artichokes is the simplest. I gave the recipe for two, because I like to sit and eat one with my sister. However, adjust the recipe for however many you want to make. I use pepper but not salt to season, but of course you can use salt if you prefer a saltier taste.

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 fresh artichokes
1 large lemon
1/2-1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (or to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter, melted
pepper

Steps:

  • Cut off stem end as well as 1 inch of the top, remove outermost leaves of artichokes and snip off pointy tips of remaining leaves. Steam, covered in a rack over boiling water about 1/2 hour until base of an artichoke is soft enough to pierce easily (you'll probably have to replace the water over time).
  • Microwave lemon 15 seconds (releases more juice) and then juice lemon--you should end up with 3-4 Tbs juice. Discard peel.
  • In a small skillet, sauté garlic and thyme in oil about 1 minute. With a fork or tiny whisk, whisk in lemon juice, butter and pepper and remove from heat.
  • To eat, dip individual leaves in lemon-butter and scrape the "meat" of the artichokes into your mouth with your front teeth. Yum!

These artichokes were a bit too chewy for me. I think I'll steam them for a shorter amount of time next time.

The artichokes were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasonings next time.
