Preparation
Chef’s notes
*For extra-large artichokes, increase the cooking time to 12 minutes. To test whether your artichokes are fully cooked, insert a sharp knife in the stem of the artichoke. If it slides in smoothly without resistance, your artichokes are ready to go. If not, cook them for an extra 2 minutes in the Instant Pot.
Lemony Melted Butter Dipping Sauce:
This is my favorite way to eat steamed artichokes! Just melt some salted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and serve. And if you really feel like going the extra mile, sauté a clove of minced fresh garlic in the butter for 1 minute before serving. Delish.
Blender Hollandaise Sauce:
This version is super easy.
Tzaziki Sauce:
For a Mediterranean twist.
Any kind of mayo or aioli.
…or whatever sounds good to you!
