INSTRUCTIONS
1999 Wash each artichoke and slice off both ends so that it can sit flatly on a surface. Immediately rub the cut ends with the lemon half to prevent discoloration. Cut away any ragged leaves, and snip off the sharp edges of the leaves with a kitchen scissor. Steam the artichokes in a vegetable steamer, or on a rack in a pot with 1 inch of water and cook for 40 to 45 minutes, over medium heat, or until a leaf can be removed easily. (Be careful not to let the water boil away.) Remove from the pan with tongs, drain thoroughly, and chill in a covered container in the refrigerator. Whisk the sauce ingredients together and chill until ready to use. Serve each chilled artichoke with a small container of sauce, garnished with lemon wedges. Note: Artichokes can be successfully cooked in a microwave oven. Place the trimmed artichokes in a microwave-safe dish and cover with plastic wrap or a domed lid. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Serves 6 Typed in MMFormat by cjhartlin@msn.com Source: Cookbook Digest Jan/Feb 99 Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #9 by chartlin@hotmail.com on Mar 11,
