Ingredients
- 4 artichokes, washed and trimmed
- 1 Tablespoon oregano, dried
- 1 Tablespoon thyme, dried
- 2 teaspoons rosemary, dried
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
- Trim the bottom and very top leaves of each artichoke. With sharp shears, cut the top 1/4 of each artichoke leaf (optional). Make a cross in the bottom of each artichoke.
- Mix herbs, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Fit a steamer basket or metal trivet in the bottom of a large pot. Fill pot with water, just until touching the bottom of the basket.
- Place artichokes on the trivet or steamer basket. Separate the leaves and sprinkle the herbs in between and over the artichokes. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil.
- Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer and cover. Steam artichokes, checking water level periodically, adding more if necessary. Steam for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until leaves are tender and pull away easily. Serve with a drizzle of Balsamic vinegar or Hollandaise sauce.
