Ingredients
- 4 large globe artichokes
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- =
Directions
With a large knife, cut stems off artichokes so they sit flat on the plate.
While working with one artichoke, place others in a large bowl of water and the lemon juice.
This will prevent the artichokes from discoloring.
Cut off top ⅓ of artichoke.
Clip points off remaining bottom outer leaves.
Repeat with remaining artichokes.
In a large pot, place 1 – 2 inches of water in the bottom with sea salt and steam artichokes for 20 – 30 minutes (depending on their size) until one of the leaves pulls out easily.
Drain and serve upright with lemon butter sauce or chill and serve with a vinaigrette or flavored mayonnaise (such as Balsamic Vinaigrette, Dijon Vinaigrette or Tarragon Mayonnaise)
