Artichokes w/Garlic, steamed
2 artichokes, washed, tips removed, and stem peeled
2 tablespoons whole pepper corns
2 bay leaves
8-10 garlic cloves
1 small lemon
Put pepper, bay leaves, and garlic cloves into water. Squeeze lemon
juice over artichokes, and drop lemon halves into either the water, or
the steamer basked. Steam about 45 minutes, or until a meat fork
pierces them very easily.
Remove the garlic cloves and mash into mayonnaise, or melted butter to
dip the artichoke leaves and heart into.
I made a great discovery recently: cook whole potatoes in the same
basket with the artichokes. After they are all done, about 45 minutes,
remove everything from the steaming basket, and put a washed, whole
cauliflower in the steaming basket. Cook for about 20 minutes. The
sweetest, most delicious tasting potatoes and cauliflower I ever had.
You can have a delicious, vegetarian meal with these 3 veggies. The
fiber in the artichoke makes your tummy feel like you ate a 7 oz.
steak! Mash the potatoes, or refrigerate them and make a delicious
potato salad using your favorite recipe.
