Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Fill a bowl with water and squeeze the juice from 1/2 a lemon into the water and set aside. You'll place the prepped artichokes in the lemon water to prevent them from oxidizing.
- Step 2
Prep the artichokes one at a time. Cut off the top of the stem of the artichoke, then snap off the tough outer leaves until you reach the soft, pale yellow interior. Cut off the top portion, then scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon. Rub cut surfaces with the remaining 1/2 lemon.
- Step 3
Next, slice off the dark green parts of the stem and base of the artichoke with a paring knife. Rub all cut surfaces with lemon, then place the artichokes in lemon water while you prep the rest.
