Easy Steamed Artichokes

Steaming is the best and easiest way to prepare an artichoke.

Ingredients :

    4 medium artichokes (about 12 ounces each)
    1 lemon, halved crosswise
    Coarse salt
    Easy Hollandaise
    Butter, melted (optional)

Direction :

    Prepare artichokes for steaming:
    Snap off tough outer leaves. Using a serrated knife, cut off top 1/3 of artichoke. Snip remaining sharp or spiky tips using kitchen shears.
    Trim stem:
    Trim stem so artichoke stands upright.
    Rub cut surfaces with lemon:
    Rub cut surfaces with lemon to prevent discoloration. Repeat with remaining artichokes and lemon.
    Set up steamer basket:
    Set a steamer basket in a large pot; add enough water so it reaches just below the basket. Squeeze lemon juice into water and add 1 tablespoon salt; bring to a boil. Place artichokes in steamer basket, stem-side up.
    Steam artichokes:
    Cover pot, and steam until heart is tender when pierced with a tip of a paring knife, and inner leaves pull out easily, 25 to 35 minutes; add more water to pot, if necessary.
    Serve:
    Serve warm or at room temperature with Hollandaise or melted butter, if desired.
