Step 2Steam
Bring a pot of water to a boil, and drop your artichokes into the steamer section. You can add half a lemon or lime to the water to preserve a bit of the artichokes' color.
The cook time will depend largely on artichoke size; you'll just have to guess and check. Check by stabbing through the thickest part of the base with a paring knife- when the knife goes through without resistance, the artichoke is done. These little guys took just under 20 minutes.
Boiling is also acceptable, but leaches more vitamins and minerals from the artichokes and leaves them a bit soggy and harder to handle. If you've got a steamer, use it.
