Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Butter Steamed Artichokes.
Step 1
Start by filling a pot with just enough water to cover the bottom, then heat it over medium until it reaches a rolling boil.
Step 2
While the water warms up, take your artichokes and trim away the stems and any tough outer leaves, revealing their tender hearts.
Step 3
For a burst of flavor, gently insert slivers of butter and slices of garlic between the leaves of each artichoke, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the taste.
Step 4
Once the water is bubbling, place a steamer insert into the pot and carefully position the artichokes stem-side down.
Step 5
Cover the pot with a lid and let the artichokes steam for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until they become tender and fragrant.
Step 6
Enjoy the delightful aroma as they cook, and savor the anticipation of a delicious meal ahead.
