Ingredients
Yield: 2 servings
- 1 cup water
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 2-4 fresh large artichokes, trimmed (here's a quick video for how to trim artichokes)
- 1 fresh lemon wedge
- dipping sauce (see options below)
Method
Tip the water, garlic cloves and bay leaf into your Instant Pot, and place the steamer basket on the bottom of the pot.
Rub the lemon wedge all over the outside of the trimmed artichokes. (This helps add flavor and prevent browning/oxidizing.) Place the artichokes in a single layer on top of the steamer basket, and toss the lemon wedge in the water below. Close lid securely and set the vent to "Sealing".
Press “Manual”, then press “Pressure” until the light on “High Pressure” lights up, then adjust the +/- buttons until time reads 10 minutes*. Leave Then very carefully, turn the vent to “Venting” for quick release, and wait until all of the steam has released and the valve has dropped. Lift the lid.
Carefully use a pair of tongs to remove the artichokes from the Instant Pot, and serve while it is hot with your desired dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Kitchen notes
- Lemony Melted Butter Dipping Sauce: This is a reliable way to eat steamed artichokes! Just melt some salted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and serve. And if you really feel like going the extra mile
- Blender Hollandaise Sauce: This version is super straightforward.
- Tzaziki Sauce: For a Mediterranean twist.
