Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Fresh artichokes
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 2 whole Bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 clove Garlic (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the artichokes. Cut off the stem to allow the artichokes to sit flat and remove the small leaves at the base.
Trim the top inch of the artichokes with a sharp knife and use scissors to snip off the pointy tips of the remaining leaves.
Slice the lemon in half. Rub the cut lemon over the trimmed surfaces of the artichokes to prevent browning.
Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and add the lemon halves, salt, and bay leaves.
Place a steamer basket inside the pot and arrange the artichokes upright in the basket.
Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer.
Simmer the artichokes for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, until a leaf from the middle pulls out easily.
While the artichokes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan. If using, finely chop the garlic and add it to the butter, sautéing until fragrant.
Serve the boiled artichokes warm with the garlic butter dipping sauce on the side.
