STEAMED ARTICHOKES AND ROASTED GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE
Don't be afraid of the artichoke! This recipe will tell you how to prepare it and to how to actually eat it! (the first time I had no clue what was edible on this cactus-like thing). It is healthy (esp. steamed) and full of fiber. This is a delicious and simple way to enjoy artichokes! The roasted garlic is so mellow and can be prepared while the artichokes are steaming to save time. Sour cream can be substituted with plain yogurt to cut calories. The steaming time of the artichokes and roasting time of the garlic bulb will vary slightly depending on the sizes you have.

Steps:
- Cut off the bottom stems of the artichokes with a serrated knife and rub the artichoke bottoms with the lemon. Cut about 2 inches off the top of the artichoke, drizzle some lemon juice over the top as well.
- Optional: Using kitchen scissors, snip off prickly ends of each leaf for easier enjoyment later.
- Place the artichokes in a steamer and steam 40 to 50 minutes, or until the bottoms are tender when pierced and the leaves pulls out easily. When it's done, quickly plunge into a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking and drain.
- While steaming the artichokes, prepare the garlic for the sauce: Cut off top of garlic bulb (enough to expose tops of most garlic cloves). Drizzle enough olive oil over the cut cloves to drench the top and sides, sprinkle a pinch of salt as well. Wrap foil around the garlic bulb and seal at the top. Roast in 400 degree oven (I use my little toaster oven) for about 30-40 minutes until soft and roasted, browned around the tops and edges is a good indicator. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves from their bulbs by pressing with your hands from the bottom of the bulbs to the top (cut side) into a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise and sour cream, and stir with fork to blend well. Add salt if needed and black pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- To eat the artichoke, pull the leaves and dip the bottom tender part into the sauce, pull the tender "meat" with your teeth on the bottom part of the leaves, don't eat (discard) the rough tops. Towards the inside you can bite off more of the tender bottoms of the leaves. Towards the heart of the artichoke, you will see pins and needle-like fuzzy stuff which you can scrape off with a spoon, then you can eat the best part of all, the center or "heart" of the artichoke.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH TWO DIPPING SAUCES
Steps:
- STEAMED ARTICHOKES
- Prepare a bowl of water large enough to hold all of the artichokes. Peel 1 lemon with a vegetable peeler, then cut in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl.
- Remove any tough outer leaves from artichokes. Working with one artichoke at a time, use a serrated knife to cut off the top quarter of each. Use kitchen shears to trim sharp tips of the leaves. Remove any small leaves from bottom and trim stem just enough that artichoke can stand upright; place in lemon water to keep it from turning brown while repeating with remaining artichokes.
- Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water; set a steamer basket (or colander) inside pot, and bring water to a boil. Place the lemon peel and artichokes, stem ends down, in basket. Cover and steam until bases of artichokes are easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 20 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, use a small spoon to scoop out center cone; scrape out purple leaves and fuzzy choke. Serve artichokes with dipping sauces, as desired

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH MAYONNAISE-MUSTARD SAUCE
Flavored steaming water adds succulence to these. The dipping sauce is a little different from plain mayonnaise or melted butter (although those are very good, too). Fresh artichokes should have tightly closed heads and not be withered-looking. To make a nice presentation, cut an inch off the top of the artichokes with a sharp knife, and snip the thorny tips from the leaves with kitchen shears. Cut the stems off flush with the bottom of the artichokes, then cut off the dark, dried-out ends of the stems. Steam the green sections of the stems right along with the artichokes. Sometimes the stems taste good and sometimes they don't, but you won't know unless you cook them. Try a bite of the stems when they are tender. If they taste good but are fibrous, peel them with a sharp knife. If they are good, you have bonus bites of tasty artichoke. If they taste bitter, just add them to the compost pile. A teaspoon is the perfect tool to scrape off the fuzzy center after eating the tender parts of the leaves. Please remove the fuzzy choke with care. As my father used to say, "That's the part that choked Arty." Then you can eat the artichoke bottom. That is your reward for all the work you did to pull off, dip and nibble the leaves one at a time. I have cooked them this way for a long time and am not sure where the idea came from, but it was probably Julia Child. The sauce is from my DBF. His brother made it when they were boys at home. It's good on broccoli, too.

Steps:
- Place one to two inches of water into a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and whole peppercorns to the water.
- Insert the steaming basket and place artichokes and trimmed stems inside the basket. If you don't have a steamer, it also works to place the artichokes directly into the water, bottoms down.
- With lid off, heat until water boils, then put lid on and turn heat down to low to maintain a simmer.
- Steam or simmer for 25-30 minutes or until a sharp knife can easily pierce bottoms of the artichokes near the stems. To be sure, test them all. Larger artichokes will take longer to cook. Remove hot artichokes from the pot with tongs.
- To make the sauce: Mix about one part of yellow mustard into six parts of good mayonnaise. The sauce should be light yellow and not taste like either mayonnaise or mustard, but like a new sauce all its own. Add more of either ingredient as needed to get the "new" sauce.
