Instructions
1
|
Place 2 inches of water in a steamer pot and bring to a boil.
2
|
Cut top 1/4 and bottom stem off of large artichokes with a serrated knife. If leaves have prickly or barbed ends, trim them off with scissors. If you are using baby artichokes, remove some of the tough outer leaves, until you hit the pale green leaves (about 10-20 leaves). Trim off top and bottom stem of baby artichokes.

|
Place artichokes in the steamer pot stem end down, cover and cook over medium-high heat for 30 minutes (if cooking baby artichokes cook half the amount of time) or until the leaves peel off the artichoke easily and the base of the artichoke is tender when pierced with a knife.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Trim and Test for Doneness ✂️Cut 1/2 inch off the top of each artichoke and trim the stem, then squeeze a leaf at the end of steaming—it should pull off easily when perfectly tender.
- Salt the Steaming Water Generously 🧂Add kosher salt to your steaming water (about 1 tablespoon per quart) to infuse flavor directly into the artichokes during cooking, eliminating the need for additional seasoning.
- Stabilize with Lemon in Water 🍋Add lemon juice or halves to the steaming water to prevent the artichokes from oxidizing and turning brown, while subtly enhancing their natural flavor.
- Make Sauce While Steaming 🥄Prepare your yogurt sauce during the 25-35 minute steaming time by whisking Greek yogurt with Dijon mustard, fresh lemon zest, and minced garlic for a perfectly balanced, tangy condiment.
- Chill Sauce Before Serving ❄️Refrigerate the lemon yogurt sauce for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and achieve the ideal cool, creamy consistency that contrasts beautifully with warm artichokes.
