Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 medium artichokes
Melted butter, if desired

Steps:

  • Remove any discolored leaves and the small leaves at base of artichokes. Trim stems even with base of artichokes. Cutting straight across, slice 1 inch off tops of artichokes and discard tops. Cut off points of remaining leaves with scissors. Rinse artichokes with cold water. To prevent discoloration, plunge entire artichoke into 4 cups cold water mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  • Place steamer basket in 1/2 inch water in 4-quart Dutch oven (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place artichokes in basket. Cover tightly. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Steam 20 to 25 minutes or until bottoms are tender when pierced with knife.
  • Pluck out artichoke leaves one at a time. Dip base of leaf into melted butter.

I've never had steamed artichokes before, but I'm definitely a fan now. They're so much better than boiled or roasted artichokes.

These artichokes were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some herbs and spices next time.

Not as good as I was hoping. The artichokes were a bit dry and the flavor was just okay.

These artichokes were a bit too fibrous for my taste. I think I'll try roasting them next time.

So easy to make and so delicious! I love that I can just throw the artichokes in the steamer and forget about them until they're done.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my artichokes came out way too mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These artichokes were a hit at my dinner party! Everyone loved them, even the ones who said they didn't like artichokes.

Not bad, but not great. The artichokes were a bit tough and the flavor was just okay. I think I'll stick to my usual roasted artichoke recipe.

Absolutely scrumptious! I've never been a huge fan of artichokes, but these were cooked to perfection. The steaming method really brought out their natural flavor.

Meh. I found the artichokes to be a bit bland. Maybe I didn't do something right. I'll try again another time.

These steamed artichokes were a delightful treat! The flavor was delicate and slightly sweet, with a tender texture that practically melted in my mouth. I served them with a simple lemon-butter sauce and they were absolutely delicious.
