Directions

  1. 1. To trim the artichokes, cut off the pointy tops and remove a row or two of the hardest outer leaves. Peel the bottom stem with a paring knife; trim off the hard bottom and stringy sections.
  2. 2. Place a deep pot over medium high heat. Add the oil, wine, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper and one cup water.
  3. 3. Let the mixture come to a boil then add the artichokes, stems down. Cover and adjust the heat so the liquid simmers.
  4. 4. Cook the artichokes until tender but not mushy, 30 to 60 minutes.
  5. 5. Serve hot or at room temperature with melted butter, lemon juice or mayonnaise.
