Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh artichokes
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 whole Lemon
- 2 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the artichokes: Trim the stems so the artichokes can sit flat. Remove tough outer leaves and use kitchen shears to trim the sharp tips of the remaining leaves. Slice 1 lemon in half and rub each trimmed artichoke to prevent browning.
Step 2
2. Slice the trimmed artichokes in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the fuzzy choke from the center of each half.
Step 3
3. Layer the halved artichokes in the crock pot with the cut side facing up. Sprinkle the garlic cloves (smashed but unpeeled) over the artichokes.
Step 4
4. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the artichokes and add the lemon halves to the crock pot. Pour in the water and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
5. Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours or on low for 6–8 hours, until the artichoke leaves pull away easily and the hearts are tender.
Step 6
6. Make the lemon butter sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Squeeze in the juice of the remaining lemon and whisk to combine. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Step 7
7. Serve the artichokes warm with the lemon butter sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
