Artichokes are great in combating water retention
and bloating. They are a great source of antioxidants and folic acid. A perfect
anti-aging food!
Steamed Artichokes:
4 artichoke globes +Riverford
1/2 a lemon
3 cloves of garlic
1 tbs of whole pepper
1/2 cup of wine (optional but recommended for even better
taste)
water ( to reach about 2 cm / 1 inch high in the
pot)
Wash and clean the artichokes and cut the stems off. Then
slice the garlic and add the pieces randomly inside the leaves.
Then place the globes in the pot, put sliced lemon
in between the globes, sprinkle with pepper and add wine and water. Steam over
low heat.
Check regularly so the water does not evaporate. You will
have to add some water throughout the cooking.
It takes about an hour for them to be cooked. It depends
on the size and toughness of the globes. You need to test them after about half
an hour by pulling one leaf off and if it goes out easily, they are done. Mine
took about 1 1/2 hours to cook.
Prepare your vinaigrette as the artichokes are
cooking.
