Jules, our former housemate, brought this recipe with her from California along with her taste in music and her unrusted '87 Honda. |
|
| Whole fresh artichokes 1 lemon dijon dill dip: 1/4 c mayonnaise 1/8 c dijon mustard 1t fresh or dry dill 1 t lemon juice |
Cut the pointy end and most of the stem end off the artichokes with a knife and cut all the points off the leaves with scissors. Squeeze juice from the lemon on the cut artichokes. Place the artichokes upright in a pot and put an inch of water in the bottom. Cover the pot, and let the artichokes steam over medium heat for an hour or until a leaf easily pulls off. To make dill dip, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, dill and lemon juice. Serve warm artichokes with dip as an appetizer. |
