Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 artichokes
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Water (for boiling)
- Salt (for boiling water)
Directions
Turn artichokes right side up and drizzle butter sauce over the tops.
Wash artichokes; trim stems and remove loose outer leaves. Cut 1 inch from each top; snip off the sharp leaf tips. Brush the cut edges with a little lemon juice.
In a large saucepan bring a large amount of lightly salted water to boiling. Add artichokes. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or till a leaf pulls out easily. Drain upside down.
Meanwhile, for butter sauce, melt butter on medium heat in a small saucepan. Stir in dillweed, tarragon, oregano and the 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
