INGREDIENTS
| 1 | Artichoke | |
| 3 | Lemons, juiced | |
| 1 | qt | Water |
INSTRUCTIONS
Trim stem of artichoke to about 1/4 inch, so artichoke can stand. Remove tough outer leaves. With a scissors, trim the top of each leaf by approximately 1/4-1/2 inch to remove thistle. In pot bring water and lemon juice to a simmer. Add artichoke. Place a towel over artichokes to keep them submerged. Simmer for 12-15 minutes; until inner choke can be removed, but before outer leaves begin to fall off. Drain artichokes upside down on towels. When cool, carefully remove inner leaves and hairy choke with a spoon. Recipe by: FROM MY GARDEN SHOW # 5553 Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #985 by The Meades <kmeade@idsonline.com> on Jan 4, 1998
