Preparation
- Step 1
Snap off the stem. With a stainless steel knife, slice off the top, about 1 inch from the pointed end. Use scissors to cut off the tips of the outer leaves. Rub all cut surfaces with lemon juice.
- Step 2
Bring water to a boil in a pot with a steamer insert. Place the artichoke in the insert and cover the pot tightly. Steam until the base is tender and the leaves pull out easily, about 40 minutes.
- Step 3
If serving whole, pull out the cone of leaves in the center of the artichoke. Use a small spoon to scoop out the choke. If using the heart only, pull away all of the leaves and then scoop out the choke. You will need approximately 8 large artichokes to get the equivalent of 1 13¾-ounce can of artichoke hearts.
