Got this low fat recipe from on line and tweaked!!

Steps

Slice about 1 inch off the top of each artichoke and trim the stems.
Remove the tough outer leaves and trim any sharp , thorny leaf.
Put about 2 inches of water in a large pot with garlic and lemon , insert a rack or steamer basket into the pot and bring the water to a boil.
Meanwhile , prepare an ice bath.
Place the artichokes on the rack and steam uncovered , until the bottom is tender and the outer leaves can be pulled off easily , about 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove the artichokes with a large spoon and plunge them into the ice bath.
Drain and refrigerate until serving time.
In a small bowl , whisk the champagne vinegar and lemon juice together.
Add the herbs & shallots and slowly whisk in the olive oil.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the artichokes with a martini glass with a bowl of vinaigrette to dip the leaves inches.
