Garlic Sauteed Artichokes

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
  • 2 large artichokes (about 1 pound each)
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Recipe

    Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 45 mins

  • rinse artichokes under cold water, and use a sharp knife to cut the top 1/3 off of each one. trim the stems to about 1 inch, and remove the smaller leaves from around the base. use scissors to remove any remaining leaf tips. cut each artichoke in half from the bottom to the top, then use a spoon to scrape out the hairy choke. rinse again to remove any residual hairs.
  • melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. add the garlic, and saute for about 1 minute to flavor the butter. arrange artichoke halves cut-side down in the skillet. saute for about 5 or 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. reduce heat to low, and pour in about 1/4 cup of water, cover, and let steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender. a fork should easily pierce the stem.
