Artichokes with Lemon Butter
February 6, 2015
Artichokes with Lemon Butter are so good. My family happens to be addicted to artichokes. I had never heard of or seen an artichoke until I was in my twenties, living in Paris. (I grew up in Indiana on canned vegetables). Anyway, I learned how to make artichokes from my friend Jody, who lived in the same foyer.
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 45 mins
- Yields: 4 Servings
Directions
1Cut stems and top 1 1/2 inches from artichokes. Using scissors, cut off pointed tips of leaves.
2To preserve the color, immediately rub any cut surface of the artichoke with lemon juice to prevent browning caused by oxidation.
3Place artichokes in a pot of water (half way up the side of the artichokes), juice from half a lemon, kosher salt and a splash of olive oil. Bring to a boil and then cover and turn it down and simmer for 45 minutes, depending on size and quantity of artichokes being cooked.
4Meanwhile, melt the butter and add the juice from the other half of the lemon.
5Served with lemon butter.

Poor you! Growing up in So. Cal, I’ve been eating artichokes since I was a child.
My new favorite way to serve them is to cut cooked artichokes in half lengthwise, remove the fuzzy choke in the center, then brush the cut side with olive oil and garlic. Place them cut side down on a BBQ grill and grill for a few minutes until the artichoke is slightly caramelized. Serve with fresh salsa.
I took that one from an appetizer at a restaurant in Colorado.
