Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Fresh artichokes
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the artichokes by rinsing them under cold water. Trim the stem to about one inch from the base, and remove any small leaves near the stem. Cut about an inch off the top of the artichoke with a sharp knife.
Rub a halved lemon on the cut surfaces of the artichokes to prevent browning and keep them fresh.
Fill a large pot with water and add the salt, bay leaf, olive oil, and garlic cloves. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half into the water and add the squeezed half to the pot as well. Add black pepper for seasoning.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, gently place the prepared artichokes into the pot. Ensure they are fully submerged by using a lid smaller than the pot or a heavy plate to weigh them down.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the artichokes simmer for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the outer leaves can be easily pulled off.
Carefully remove the artichokes from the pot using tongs and let any excess water drip off. Allow them to cool for a few minutes at room temperature.
Serve the boiled artichokes as a healthy, low-carb dish, optionally accompanied by a low-carb dip of your choice.
