Steamed Artichokes with Lemon-Garlic Aioli
6 servings
50 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, for zest/juice
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
  • ½ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 medium fresh artichokes, trimmed
  • 1 cup water

Steps

    1. Zest lemon (2 teaspoons); squeeze for juice (2 tablespoons). Chop garlic. Combine mayonnaise, salt, lemon zest, garlic, and 1 tablespoon juice; whisk until blended, then
      chill aioli.
    2. Peel away lower, small petals of artichokes and discard. Slice about 1 inch off the top and bottom of each artichoke (top should expose tender, purple insides). Trim off remaining pointed petal tips with kitchen shears.
    3. Combine water and remaining 1 tablespoon juice in medium saucepot. Place artichokes in pot, coating in water. Cover and simmer on medium-low 35–40 minutes or until stem is fork-tender and petals pull away easily. Let stand to cool slightly; serve artichoke petals with aioli.
    Note: To save time, follow same instructions using a microwave-safe dish instead of saucepot. Cover tightly and microwave on HIGH for 12–15 minutes or until stems are fork-tender.
