Instant Pot Artichokes
I love artichokes and the instant pot makes them in a fraction of the time! These are simple to make and always delicious and tender.
Servings: 4 artichokes
Ingredients
- 4 artichokes - cut in half scoop out the choke or fine seeds right in the middle and use a peeler on the stem to take off the outside layer of the stem
- Hot Water - to the half way mark on the instant pot
- 4 cloves garlic - optional
- 1/2 a lemon - juiced into the water then rind added
- generous pinch of salt
Instructions
- Cut artichokes in half so the stem is split right down the middle.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the choke or fine prickly seeds right in the middle by the heart of the artichoke.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the outside of the stem, the fibrous part, this is so you can eat the stem.
- Rise artichoke to make sure no fine seeds are left.
- Place into the instant pot and fill pot to the 1/2 mark with hot water.
- Squeeze lemon juice over the pot and add the 1/2 of the rind.
- Add 4 cloves garlic and a generous pinch of salt.
- Cook for 8 minutes on high pressure with a quick release of pressure.
- Serve with garlic butter, aioli, mayonnaise or favorite dipping sauce.
