STEAMED WHOLE ARTICHOKES WITH SPICY LEMON CAPER MAYONNAISE



Steamed Whole Artichokes with Spicy Lemon Caper Mayonnaise image

This is a dish that takes you straight to a French bistro. I love it because we cook the artichokes whole and eat the whole thing! While the recipe calls for a steaming method, you can easily submerge them in a large pot of boiling, lightly salted water and cook until tender. When I was living in Paris, a glass of cheap, dry white wine with a few ice cubes and this artichoke with the spicy dipping sauce made for a classic bistro appetizer moment. Pull off the leaves, dunk in the sauce and enjoy. Scoop the fuzzy "hay" off the top of the artichoke to find the heart in the center-the best part! Don't like spicy? Simply make the sauce without the hot sauce or pepper flakes.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large artichokes
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons capers, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Place each artichoke on its side on a flat surface. Use a serrated knife to saw off the stem at the base of the artichoke so it can sit upright on a plate without falling over once cooked.
  • In a large pot, add 3 inches of water. Insert a steamer basket. Place the artichokes top-down in the basket, wedged in a single layer. Cover. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. If the pot runs out of water while cooking, simply add more to the bottom.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, oil, capers, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the chives.
  • Serve the artichokes with the dipping sauce.

Easy peasy using storebought mayonnaise! A delicious mayo great for almost any savory sandwich or added to salad dressings or dips! Adapted from Better Homes and Gardens magazine((Sept. 2005).
