Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 bay leaf

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 4 artichokes, trimmed and stemmed

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. Combine water, garlic, bay leaf, and salt inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Place steamer in the pot. Add artichokes, trimmed top facing up; drizzle with lemon juice. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  2. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.

  3. Cool until easily handled. Pull off outer petals one at a time. Pull through teeth to remove the soft portion of the petal. Discard remaining petal. Spoon out fuzzy center near the stem and discard. Eat the bottom whole or cut into pieces.

Recipe Tip

Artichokes can be served hot or cold. Eat them by pulling off the outer petals, dipping them in lemon juice or melted butter, and then pulling them through your teeth to remove the soft, pulpy portion of petal. Discard what's left of each petal. You can also eat the heart of the artichoke by removing the fuzzy center at the base.
