Preparation

Select fresh, vibrant artichokes with tightly closed leaves and a rich green hue.
Trim the stems and cut off the top inch of each artichoke.
Wash thoroughly under cold water, spreading the leaves slightly apart to remove any dirt.
Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and add lemon slices or herbs for extra flavor.
Arrange the artichokes upright in the pot, ensuring they’re not crowded. Cover with a lid and steam for 30-40 minutes.
Serve warm with melted butter or your favorite dipping sauce.
