Delicious Steamed Whole Artichokes

    I bought a bag of three artichokes for $2 on the produce clearance stand so didn't expect much. I found this recipe on foodnetwork.com and decided to try it. That version specifies water or chicken stock. used dried parsley flakes instead of fresh. Also only had half a lemon. I cooked them for an hour just to be sure they were tender. Wow! The best artichokes we ever had. Poured a bit of broth over the artichokes before serving. This will be the only way I make artichokes in the future.

    Delicious Steamed Whole Artichokes, From Food 911, these are so good! used to live in Watsonville, California, the artichoke capital!, I bought a bag of three artichokes for $2 on the produce clearance stand so didn’t expect much. I found this recipe on foodnetwork.com and decided to try it. That version specifies water or chicken stock. used dried parsley flakes instead of fresh. Also only had half a lemon. I cooked them for an hour just to be sure they were tender. Wow! The best artichokes we ever had. Poured a bit of broth over the artichokes before serving. This will be the only way I make artichokes in the future., Followed recipe with one exception. used coconut oil instead of olive. Very nice flavor. Very easy, nutritious and delicious. Denise

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Put the Parsley, Garlic, Bay Leaves, Lemons, Wine, Oil and Water in a Large Pot and Bring to a Simmer. Season the Liquid With Salt and Pepper.

    2
    Done

    in the Meantime Prepare the Artichokes:

    3
    Done

    Wash Artichokes Under Cold Water. Using a Heavy Stainless Steel Knife, Cut Off the Stems Close to the Base. Pull Off the Lower Petals That Are Small and Tough. Cut Off the Top Inch of the Artichoke and Rub With Half a Lemon to Preserve the Green Color. or You May Put the Artichokes in Water That Has Some Lemon Juice in It. If You Wish, Trim the Thorny Tips of the Petals With Kitchen Shears.

    4
    Done

    Place the Artichokes in the Steaming Broth, Bottom Up. Cover and Simmer For About 30 Minutes. the Artichokes Are Done When a Knife Is Inserted Into the Base and There Is No Resistance.

    5
    Done

    to Eat, Pull Off a Leaf and Scrape the Meat Off the Tender End With Your Front Teeth. Dip the Ends of the Leaves in Lemon Juice and Melted Butter If Desired. When You Reach the Center Cone of Purple Prickly Leaves, Remove It. This Is the Choke That Protects the Heart. Now, Scrape Away the Thistle Fuzz Covering the Artichoke Heart. the Heart Is the Meatiest and in My Opinion, the Best Part of the Artichoke. Steamed Artichokes May Be Served Hot or Cold. Enjoy!

    6
    Done

    You May Dip the Artichoke in Mayonnaise That Has Lemon Added to It, or Butter and Lemon Juice. Yum!
