Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh artichokes
• 1 piece lemon
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 4 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the artichokes by trimming the stems, removing tough outer leaves, and cutting the top one inch off each artichoke.

Step 2

Halve the lemon and rub the cut sides over the exposed areas of the artichokes to prevent browning. Slice the remaining lemon into rounds.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and place a steamer basket inside. Add the lemon slices to the water for flavor.

Step 5

Place the artichokes, stem side down, in the steamer basket. Cover the pot and steam over medium heat for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the artichoke leaves pull away easily.

Step 6

While the artichokes cook, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over low heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until lightly golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley along with the salt and black pepper.

Step 7

When the artichokes are done, remove them from the steamer and let cool slightly. Gently spread the leaves apart and drizzle the garlic parsley oil evenly over the artichokes, making sure the oil seeps into the layers.

Step 8

Serve warm, with the garlic-infused oil as a dipping sauce for the leaves.
