Artichokes 101
I had such a hard time finding instructions on how to make plain artichokes, i thought that i would share. This is no thriller, but it is basic.
Steps
In a large non reactive mixing bowl combine lemon juice and 6 cups water.
Pour remaining water into large pot and bring to boil.
You will need a steaming basket.
To prepare artichokes one at a time cut off stems , peel off outer leaves until yellow leaves show , cut off top 1 inch so that you can see the inner flower , place in bowl.
When all are prepared , put them in steamer basket over pot and cover.
They are done when fork tender.
