STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON BUTTER
Large, plump artichokes are generally better for steaming than smaller ones. They may take longer to soften, but you'll end up with plenty of meaty petals to pull off and dip into the lemon butter. This recipe gives instructions for steaming the artichokes in a traditional pot, but a pressure cooker (either electric or stovetop) is a faster option if you have one. See the Note below for instructions.

Steps:
- Pull off any brown or very tough outer leaves from one artichoke. Use a sharp knife to cut off the top 1 inch of artichoke, then rub with the cut side of the lemon. Use kitchen shears or scissors to cut the pointy tops off the remaining outer layer of leaves. Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife to peel the stem down to its tender pale-colored core; immediately rub the stem with a lemon half. Use your fingers to separate the center leaves to expose the fuzzy pale choke sitting on top of the heart. Use a grapefruit spoon (or other spoon) to scoop out the choke, and rub a little lemon juice over the exposed flesh. Repeat with the remaining artichokes.
- Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of water, place a steamer basket inside, and bring water to a simmer. Place the artichokes bottoms down on the rack, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer over low heat until you can easily pull off an artichoke leaf, 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the steamer basket and transfer to a serving platter.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic and salt. Slowly whisk in butter. To serve, have everyone pull off the leaves and dunk the meaty bottoms into the lemon butter, swirling to mix butter with each dip (the butter will separate as it sits).

Steps:
- Prepare artichokes for steaming: Snap off tough outer leaves. Using a serrated knife, cut off top 1/3 of artichoke. Snip remaining sharp or spiky tips using kitchen shears. Trim stem so artichoke stands upright. Rub cut surfaces with lemon to prevent discoloration. Repeat with remaining artichokes and lemon.
- Set a steamer basket in a large pot; add enough water so it reaches just below the basket. Squeeze lemon juice into water and add 1 tablespoon salt; bring to a boil. Place artichokes in steamer basket, stem-side up. Cover pot, and steam until heart is tender when pierced with a tip of a paring knife, and inner leaves pull out easily, 25 to 35 minutes; add more water to pot, if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature with Easy Hollandaise or melted butter, if desired.

Steps:
- 1. To prepare the Artichokes, you need to fill your sink withi cold water. You will need sharp kitchen scissors to cut the leave spike tips off the entire Artichoke. After the tips are gone, dip each Artichoke upside down in the water in the sink to remove any dirt or possible insects. In a steam pot with an insert with the holes in it, place your Artichokes upside down. Your steam pot should have the 3 qts of water, the chopped onion, and 1 clove minced garlic, and olive oil in it before placing the Artichokes in the steam pot. Cover the pot and turn on heat to medium high. Steam for about 35 to 45 minutes depending on whether you have an electric stove, or gas stove.
- 2. The Artichokes are done when you can poke them with a fork and it releases easily. Take them from the pot and place on a large platter. To make the butter sauce, melt the butter to liquid form, adding your second minced garlic clove, and the worchestershire sauce. Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes. To eat, pull the leaves of the Artichoke off and dip in the sauce, and scrape the "meat" off with your teeth. The heart is the best part, and you can cut it into quarters and dip in the sauce.
STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH GARLICKY DIPPING SAUCE
I grew up eating artichokes dipped in a garlic butter, which is delicious, but i wanted something i wouldn't feel so guilty about eating. So, i came up with this recipe as a test, and it was really good. I use non-fat Greek yogurt, it is a little thicker, but you could use regular non-fat/low-fat yogurt, or even sour cream. I make things for 2, so if you want more, just make twice as much dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Trim bottom stalk of artichokes, leaving about 1 inch. Cut off the first couple of inches of the top of the artichoke. If your artichoke is dangerously spikey, or you are serving these to kids/company, you may want to trim the tips of all the remaining leaves with scissors. Rinse the artichokes well, under running water.
- Put about 2 inches of water in the bottom of a big pot, and place the artichokes top down. Throw in the bay leaf and crushed garlic clove. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower heat so the liquid is just simmering. Steam like this for about 30-45 minutes.
- Make the dip by putting the minced garlic, margarine, and lemon juice in a microwave safe bowl and heating for 30 seconds. Add the dill, yogurt, and salt & pepper. If you want your sauce thick like this, then you are done. I like my dip a little runnier, so i add a little milk until it is the consistancy that i want. Either way, cover and put in the fridge until the artichokes are ready.
- Let artichokes cool off for about 10 minutes before serving.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES AND ROASTED GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE
Don't be afraid of the artichoke! This recipe will tell you how to prepare it and to how to actually eat it! (the first time I had no clue what was edible on this cactus-like thing). It is healthy (esp. steamed) and full of fiber. This is a delicious and simple way to enjoy artichokes! The roasted garlic is so mellow and can be prepared while the artichokes are steaming to save time. Sour cream can be substituted with plain yogurt to cut calories. The steaming time of the artichokes and roasting time of the garlic bulb will vary slightly depending on the sizes you have.

Steps:
- Cut off the bottom stems of the artichokes with a serrated knife and rub the artichoke bottoms with the lemon. Cut about 2 inches off the top of the artichoke, drizzle some lemon juice over the top as well.
- Optional: Using kitchen scissors, snip off prickly ends of each leaf for easier enjoyment later.
- Place the artichokes in a steamer and steam 40 to 50 minutes, or until the bottoms are tender when pierced and the leaves pulls out easily. When it's done, quickly plunge into a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking and drain.
- While steaming the artichokes, prepare the garlic for the sauce: Cut off top of garlic bulb (enough to expose tops of most garlic cloves). Drizzle enough olive oil over the cut cloves to drench the top and sides, sprinkle a pinch of salt as well. Wrap foil around the garlic bulb and seal at the top. Roast in 400 degree oven (I use my little toaster oven) for about 30-40 minutes until soft and roasted, browned around the tops and edges is a good indicator. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves from their bulbs by pressing with your hands from the bottom of the bulbs to the top (cut side) into a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise and sour cream, and stir with fork to blend well. Add salt if needed and black pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- To eat the artichoke, pull the leaves and dip the bottom tender part into the sauce, pull the tender "meat" with your teeth on the bottom part of the leaves, don't eat (discard) the rough tops. Towards the inside you can bite off more of the tender bottoms of the leaves. Towards the heart of the artichoke, you will see pins and needle-like fuzzy stuff which you can scrape off with a spoon, then you can eat the best part of all, the center or "heart" of the artichoke.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH CURRY DIPPING SAUCE
A mayonnaise sauce with a little different twist. I was surprised and pleased to find that the typical seasonings in curries work so well with artichokes. Hope you enjoy this. (Low fat mayo works fine in this recipe, but bottled lemon juice doe not - use fresh squeezed) Note: the sauce is highly seasoned. If you wish a milder sauce, reduce all spices to half.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH VINAIGRETTE DIPPING SAUCE
Artichokes are not the friendliest of vegetables. They are a good source of magnesium, potassium and fiber, and they require a little work, but it's time well-spent. The simplest way to prepare an artichoke is to steam it, there's hardly any trimming at all. Serve it with a dipping sauce and work your way, perhaps with a friend or loved one, to the heart. Then scrape away the chokes and divvy up the prize at the middle.

Steps:
- Lay an artichoke on its side on a cutting board. Using a large, sharp knife, cut away the entire top quarter in one slice. Rub the top with the cut lemon. Cut off the stem at the bottom, so the artichoke will stand upright, and rub the bottom with lemon. Pull off the tough bottom leaves (bracts). Then, using scissors, cut away the thorny end of each remaining bract. Rub the edges with lemon.
- Bring two inches of water to a boil in a steamer or pasta pot, and place the artichokes in the steaming basket. If they are too big to fit, place them directly in the water. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes or until a leaf easily pulls away. Remove from the heat. Serve hot or at room temperature with a sauce for dipping the leaves. Use your teeth to scrape the flesh from the bottom of the leaf. Have a bowl or plate on the side for the discarded leaves. When you reach the papery leaves that cover the heart in the middle, cut them away along with the choke and discard. Divvy up the heart and enjoy.
- Whisk together the vinegar, salt, Dijon mustard and garlic. Whisk in the mayonnaise, yogurt and olive oil, and blend well. Taste, adjust salt, and add pepper. Use as a dip for artichokes or other vegetables.

- Start by making the sauce. Combine all ingredients and stir until smooth. Can be made ahead of time, covered and refrigerated until serving time.
- Prep artichokes for cooking. Cut the top one third off with a serrated knife (bread knife). The teeth of a serrated knife make it easier to cut through the tough exterior. Discard the trimmings. Trim the bottom stem flush with the base. Next, trim off the prickly point of each leaf with a pair of kitchen scissors. Rub a cut lemon over the artichoke to prevent it from browning.
- Cook the artichokes. In a deep pan wide enough to hold artichokes, place trimmed artichokes stem side up in the bottom of the pan (or place on a steamer rack). Fill pan with a few inches of cold water. Squeeze lemon juice over the artichokes and put rinds in the pan. Drizzle in olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt, add bay leaf, black peppercorns, thyme sprigs and garlic.
- Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and bring to a boil. When steam starts coming out of the pan, turn the heat down to low and cook artichokes until you can pierce the center of the stem with a paring knife. The timing will depend on the size of the artichokes. For big ones test at 20-25 minutes and continue if needed for a few minutes. Another way to tell when an artichoke is ready is to pull off and outer leaf. It should come off easily. Doing both tests is a good idea.

- Snap off any tough or browned outer leaves. Use a serrated knife to slice off the top inch of each artichoke. Immediately rub cut surface with lemon halves. Use scissors to snip off all the sharp leaf tips. Trim stem from artichoke bottom so artichokes will sit upright. (If you trim more than 1 inch of stem, peel it and add to steamer with artichokes.)
- Set steamer basket over simmering water in a large pot. Arrange artichokes in basket, fitting snugly so they stand up. Cover; bring to boiling. Cook until an artichoke leaf near the center can be pulled off easily, about 30 minutes
