Servings: 4
Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large globe artichokes
- 1 lemon
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter or ghee (melted)
Instructions
- Prep the artichokes by removing the outer leaves, and trimming about 1/2 inch off the top. Remove the stem so the artichokes can sit upright.
- Juice the lemon, and brush each artichoke with a bit of lemon.
- Pour the water into the bottom of the Instant Pot and insert the steam trivet. Arrange the artichokes, stem side down, on the trivet so they sit upright.
- Secure the lid of the Instant Pot. Select manual and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. Use a quick release.
- While artichokes are steaming, prepare the lemon garlic butter sauce. In a small bowl, stir the dijon mustard, remaining lemon juice, and garlic, and salt into the melted butter.
- Serve by peeling the warm leaves off of each artichoke, and dipping the bottom (heart) into the lemon garlic butter.
