Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 whole artichokes
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Cut stem from artichokes and discard, making sure the bottom of each artichoke is flat. Cut top 1 inch (or so) of the artichoke and discard. Snip the thorny ends from each artichoke leaf with a pair of kitchen scissors.
  • Fill the bottom of a pot with a couple of inches of water, adding garlic, lemon juice, and bay leaf to the water. Place a steamer basket in the pot, making sure that the water does not flow over the bottom of the steamer basket.
  • Place the artichokes in the basket, resting on the flattened bottoms.
  • Bring water to a boil, cover the pot, and cook until the leaves can be easily pulled from the artichoke, 20 to 30 minutes.

This recipe was a disaster! The artichokes were tough and the sauce was watery. I don't recommend this recipe.

The artichokes were a bit overcooked, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try steaming them for a shorter amount of time next time.

Meh. I found this recipe to be bland and unexciting. The artichokes were watery and the sauce was too oily. I won't be making this again.
