Instant Pot Artichokes
Description
Instant Pot Artichokes begins with trimming the top inch of large artichokes and removing dry outer leaves, then snipping off sharp leaf tips to ease eating. Aromatics like minced garlic and salt are added to the Instant Pot with water, along with fresh parsley to infuse light flavor into the steaming liquid. The artichokes are placed cut side down on a trivet above the herb mixture.
Cooking under high pressure for 15 minutes followed by natural pressure release softens the artichokes thoroughly. Testing doneness is done by inserting a knife into the base, which should slide in easily when fully cooked. The texture of the cooked artichokes yields tender leaves and a fleshy heart, ideal for pulling off leaves, dipping, and enjoying the delicate flavor.
These artichokes are commonly served with melted butter or another favorite dipping sauce. The gentle steaming with garlic and parsley complements the natural artichoke flavor without overpowering it. This preparation suits a healthy side dish or an elegant appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 Artichoke large
- 2 water
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 parsley bunch
Instructions
- Wash and dry your artichokes and then cut about 1 inch off the top to expose the inside.
- Pull off any dry, dead leaves from the outside and discard. Using kitchen shears, snip off the tip of each leaf.
- Pour the water in your Instant Pot and stir in the garlic and salt.
- Place the trivet inside and place the parsley inside, pushing it to the side. Then, place your cleaned artichokes in the pan, cut side down.
- Cover, set the pot to seal, and cook at manual high pressure for 15 minutes. Let steam release naturally.
- Use a knife to poke the bottom of the artichoke. If it goes in easily, it's done!
- Dip the leaves in melted butter or your favorite sauce and enjoy!
