Here is how you make Steamed Artichoke:

To prep the artichoke - WASH FIRST! Then cut approx 3/4's an inch off the top of the artichoke and cut the stem close to the butt of the artichoke. I also trim the pointy parts of the outside leaves.Place an inch or so of water in a large pot.Add the garlic clove, the bay leaf and the lemon wedge directly to the waterPlace steaming basket over the waterPlace artichoke in basketCoverBring water to a boil and allow to steam for about 30 minutes (or until outer leaves are tender).Enjoy (Try mixing a little balsamic vinegar with light mayo, or red cide vinegar with light mayo, or red wine vinegar with light mayo... all are tasty in their own way. A little dip goes a long way! Nutritional info determined without dip)Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KNACKERED_KITTY.
