Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large artichokes
- 2 lemons
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Trim the stems of the artichokes to about 1/2 – 1 inch from the base and cut 1/2 to 1 inch off the top of the artichokes. Snip off the thorny tips from the leaves. Halve one lemon and rub the artichokes immediately after prepping. Reserve the other half for cooking.
- Fill a bowl with water, squeeze the juice of one lemon into it, and drop the halved lemons into the water. Rub the artichokes with lemon and then place them in the lemon water to prevent oxidation.
- Pour enough water into the Instant Pot to reach about 2 inches up the sides. Add the sliced lemon, garlic, and bay leaf to the water. Place the trivet inside and arrange the artichokes on top, cut side up. Lock the lid and cook at High Pressure for 8-12 minutes based on the artichoke size. Quick-release the pressure and check for tenderness by inserting a knife into the base of the stem.
- Remove the artichokes from the pot, let them cool slightly, then spread the leaves apart and use a spoon or melon baller to remove any fuzzy chokes.
