Ingredients
- 2 large artichokes
- 1 lemon
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 black peppercorns
- 8 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the artichokes. Rinse them under cold water, then trim the stems to about 1 inch from the base.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, cut about 1 inch off the top of the artichokes to remove the thorny tips.
Step 3
To prevent browning, rub the cut surfaces with half a lemon.
Step 4
Peel the garlic clove and slightly crush it without cutting it all the way through, allowing the flavor to infuse the water.
Step 5
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
Step 6
Add the juice of the remaining half lemon, the bay leaf, garlic clove, salt, and peppercorns to the pot.
Step 7
Carefully place the artichokes into the boiling water, ensuring they're fully submerged.
Step 8
Cover the pot and let them boil for about 30-45 minutes or until the leaves can be easily pulled off.
Step 9
Remove the artichokes from the pot and let them drain upside down on a paper towel for a few minutes.
Step 10
Serve the artichokes warm, with a side of your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce if desired.
