Ingredients
- 2 fresh artichokes
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1 cup water
- Salt, to taste
- Garlic or herb butter, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Start by prepping your artichokes. Rinse them under cold water and use a sharp knife to trim the stems and cut about an inch off the top of each artichoke.
- Squeeze the juice of one lemon half into a bowl of water and drop the squeezed half into the water as well to help prevent browning.
- As you trim the artichokes, place them in the lemon water to keep them fresh.
- Pour one cup of water into your Instant Pot, and add the steaming rack inside.
- Arrange the artichokes on the rack, stem side up. You can stack them if you need to, just make sure they fit snugly.
- Seal the lid and set your Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 12 minutes. It’ll take a few minutes to come up to pressure before the timer starts.
- When the cooking time is up, do a quick release to let the steam out. Be careful, y’all!
- Remove the artichokes carefully, as they will be hot. Let them cool for a couple of minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and serve with melted garlic or herb butter for a tasty dip.
