Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fresh globe artichoke
- 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Rinse the artichoke under cold water, gently pulling the leaves apart to remove any dirt.
- Trim the stem by slicing off the end to let the artichoke sit flat. Optionally, peel the outer layer of the stem as it is tender and edible.
- Cut about ¾–1 inch off the top of the artichoke to remove thorny tips.
- Use kitchen shears to snip sharp tips from the outer leaves for easy handling and a cleaner presentation.
- Rub all cut surfaces with lemon juice to prevent browning. The artichoke is now ready to steam, with the choke to be removed after cooking.

It’s best to steam the artichoke once prepped to enjoy its full flavor.
Be careful with sharp knife and shears when cutting the artichoke.
