Ingredients

• 2 whole Artichokes
• 1 whole Lemon
• 4 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt
• 2 teaspoons Curry Powder
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for sauce)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the artichokes by rinsing under cold water. Trim the stems to about 1 inch and remove any small or damaged outer leaves.

Step 2

Using kitchen scissors, snip off the sharp tips of each artichoke leaf. Cut off the top 1 inch of the artichoke with a sharp knife.

Step 3

Slice the lemon in half and rub the cut sides onto the exposed artichoke tops to prevent browning. Reserve the lemon halves.

Step 4

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the lemon halves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the prepared artichokes. Place a steaming basket or rack in the pot.

Step 5

Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Steam the artichokes for 25–30 minutes, or until the leaves are tender and pull away easily.

Step 6

While the artichokes are steaming, prepare the curry dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of honey, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until creamy and smooth.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding more curry powder, salt, or honey to balance the flavor.

Step 8

Once the artichokes are cooked, remove them from the pot and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 9

Serve the artichokes warm or at room temperature with the curry dipping sauce on the side.
