Description

Don’t be afraid of making artichokes! I’ll show you several ways to cook an artichoke, and how to eat your creation.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Artichokes, Top Cut Off And Trimmed
  • 1 cup Water
  • FOR THE BUTTER DIPPING SAUCE:
  • 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Salt

Preparation

To steam:
Boil water in a pot. Place steamer basket into pot. Place artichokes face down and cover. Steam for 20 minutes.

To microwave:
Put 1/2 cup water into a microwavable bowl. Place 1 artichoke face down in bowl. Cover with plate. Microwave on high in 5-minute intervals until soft.

In an Instant Pot:
Place 1 cup of water in Instant Pot. Place artichokes facedown into steamer basket and place in Instant Pot. Steam for 10 minutes and then manually release the pressure.

For the butter dipping sauce, melt butter and combine with lemon juice and garlic salt.

Note: It doesn’t matter if you place the artichoke face down or face up. I like face down so water doesn’t collect inside the artichoke.
