Instant Pot® steamed artichokes
30 min
Artichokes are steamed and flavoured with garlic and lemon juice in minutes when you use your Instant Pot®! Artichokes may be served hot or cold. They can be eaten by pulling off outer petals and dipping them in lemon juice, then pulling through teeth to remove soft, pulpy portion of petal. Discard remaining petal. You may also eat the heart of the artichoke, by removing the fuzzy centre at the base.
