Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large artichokes
- 1 lemon
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 black peppercorns
- 8 cups water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the artichokes. Rinse them under cold water, then trim the stems to about 1 inch from the base.
Using a sharp knife, cut about 1 inch off the top of the artichokes to remove the thorny tips.
To prevent browning, rub the cut surfaces with half a lemon.
Peel the garlic clove and slightly crush it without cutting it all the way through, allowing the flavor to infuse the water.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
Add the juice of the remaining half lemon, the bay leaf, garlic clove, salt, and peppercorns to the pot.
Carefully place the artichokes into the boiling water, ensuring they're fully submerged.
Cover the pot and let them boil for about 30-45 minutes or until the leaves can be easily pulled off.
Remove the artichokes from the pot and let them drain upside down on a paper towel for a few minutes.
Serve the artichokes warm, with a side of your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce if desired.
