Lemon garlic steamed artichokes are a delicious and healthy dish that's perfect as an appetizer or side. This recipe combines the subtle flavors of garlic and fresh lemon to enhance the natural taste of artichokes, making for a delightful culinary experience.
- Choose fresh, firm artichokes with tightly closed leaves for the best flavor and texture.
- Trim the sharp tips of the artichoke leaves with kitchen scissors to make handling and eating easier.
- Rub the cut parts of the artichoke with a lemon wedge to prevent oxidation and browning.
- Use a steamer basket to ensure even cooking. If you don't have a steamer basket, a colander that fits inside a pot can work as a substitute.
- Check for doneness by pulling a leaf from the artichoke; it should come off easily and the base should be tender.
Once your lemon garlic steamed artichokes are perfectly cooked, serve them warm with a delicious dipping sauce, such as aioli or melted butter. Enjoy the subtle yet flavorful combination of lemon and garlic, which perfectly complements the tender artichoke leaves.
