Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 globe artichokes, about 8 to 12 ounces each
Melted butter and lemon wedges if you are serving them hot
Vinaigrette or salad dressing, if you are serving them chilled

Steps:

  • Cut off stem and with a sharp knife trim the base so artichokes sit flat. Make a cut across the top of the leaves, parallel to the base. With scissors, trim the leaves so they have straight edges.
  • To cook conventionally, bring a large shallow pan of salted water to a boil. Submerge artichokes, cover tops with a heat proof heavy plate to keep them submerged and cook for 35 to 45 minutes or until a leaf in middle can be pulled out easily. Drain them upside down so water runs out.
  • To cook in microwave, wrap each one individually in microwavable plastic wrap and set them in a round plate. Microwave for 10 minutes or until a center leaf can be pulled out easily. Remove plastic wrap (carefully; it will be hot).
  • Serve as is, with each person pulling out a leaf and dipping it in melted butter, or remove cone of dinner leaves in one fell swoop and reserve them for later. With a small spoon scoop out choke. Replace cone of leaves, upside down and serve with melted butter seasoned with lemon or vinaigrette.

These artichokes were a bit too oily for my taste.

The artichokes were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more seasonings next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my artichokes didn't turn out as well. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
