Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium to large size artichokes
3/4 cup mayonnaise ()
1 clove garlic (grated or very finely minced)
zest and juice of 1 lemon (save lemon halves for the poaching liquid)
pinch of cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups water
1 cup chicken or veggie stock
1/4 cup white wine
2 lemon halves left over from the aioli

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, make the lemon garlic aioli by combining all ingredients and stirring to combine. Will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.
  • Prep the artichokes by cutting off the top 1" of the artichoke, bottom 1/4" of the stem, then snipping off the pointy part of each leaf to get rid of the thorns.
  • In your dutch oven (or any large pot with a lid), heat up all ingredients of the poaching liquid over medium high heat. Add in the artichokes, stem side down so the top of the artichokes face up. Cover with a lid, and simmer the artichokes over medium heat for 45-50 minutes. After the artichokes are fully steamed, remove them with tongs, turn them cut side down on a dish towel or paper towels to drain off excess liquid. Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes.
  • In your Instant Pot, heat up all ingredients with the poaching liquid on the saute function. Add in the artichokes, stem side down so the top of the artichokes faces up. Turn off saute mode. Cover with the Instant Pot lid, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes for a small artichoke, 15 minutes for medium artichokes, and 25 minutes for large artichokes. After the artichokes are fully cooked, release the pressure manually until all the steam is released. Remove the artichokes from the Instant Pot with tongs and turn them cut side down on a dishtowel or paper towels to drain off excess liquid. Allow cooling for 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve immediately while warm or later while cooled with the lemon garlic aioli.

### Tips
  • Pick the best artichokes: Choose artichokes that are heavy for their size, have tightly closed leaves, and no blemishes or bruises.
  • Rinse the artichokes thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse the artichokes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Trim the artichoke stems: Cut about 1 inch off the bottom of the artichoke stem.
  • Remove the artichoke leaves: Grasp the artichoke upside down and gently pull off the leaves, one by one. Stop when you reach the heart of the artichoke.
  • Scoop out the choke: Use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center of the artichoke.
  • Cook the artichokes in the Instant Pot: Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Place the artichokes in a steamer basket or trivet, and lower them into the pot. Cook on high pressure for 10-12 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender.
  • Make the spicy aioli: While the artichokes are cooking, make the spicy aioli. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, Sriracha, and salt in a bowl. Stir until combined.
  • Serve the artichokes: When the artichokes are done cooking, remove them from the Instant Pot and let them cool slightly. Serve with the spicy aioli.
### Conclusion Instant Pot artichokes with spicy aioli is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. The artichokes are cooked in the Instant Pot until they are tender, and then served with a flavorful spicy aioli. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
