Steps:
- With a pair of kitchen scissors, snip off the tips of the artichoke leaves. They're pokey, and that's no fun.
- With a super-sharp, heavy-duty knife, lop off the top of the artichoke - about 3/4 of an inch worth.
- With the same knife, cut off the stem at the base of the artichoke so that it will sit flat.
- Remove the bottom row of leaves.
- Rinse well under cold water.
- Fill a large pot with about two inches of water and set in the artichokes, bottom side down. Optional but tasty: add a bay leaf, a slice of lemon, and/or a garlic clove. Set on the stove and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the temperature on the water to medium, reducing it to a simmer. Cover.
- Steam the artichokes for about 30 minutes, until tender. You can check for doneness by inserting the tip of a knife into the bottom (if it goes in with only a little resistance they're done) or by pulling off a tester leave (it should come off easily).
- Remove from water, allow to cool a bit, and serve with whatever dip you like (here are a few ideas!)
