Yummy boiled artichokes! 🤤

Boiled artichokes are a delicious and healthy vegetable that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Here's a simple recipe for boiled artichokes:

Ingredients:

4 medium-sized artichokes

1 lemon, sliced

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon of salt

Water

Instructions:

Fill a large pot with water, leaving about 2-3 inches of space at the top. Add the salt, lemon slices, and chopped garlic.

Trim the top and stem of each artichoke. Cut off the spiky tips of the leaves with kitchen scissors. Rinse the artichokes well in cold water.

Place the artichokes in the pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot with a lid. Let the artichokes simmer for about 30-45 minutes, or until they are tender and the leaves can be easily pulled off.

Remove the artichokes from the pot with tongs and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

To eat, pull off the leaves one by one, dip them in melted butter or a sauce of your choice, and scrape the tender flesh off with your teeth. When you reach the center of the artichoke, you'll find the choke (the fuzzy part). Use a spoon or knife to remove the choke, revealing the heart, which is the most tender and delicious part of the artichoke. Cut the heart into pieces and enjoy!
