Ingredients
- 4 med artichokes - (abt 6 ounce ea)
- 5 lrg garlic cloves coarsely minced
- 1/2 tsp freshly-grnd black pepper
- 1/2 c. minced parsley divided
- 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 c. water
- 1/2 tsp salt
Directions
- Cut off stems of the artichokes to be flush with the bottoms. Slice off about 1 inch from the top of the globe. Remove and throw away any coarse outer leaves if necessary. Using kitchen shears, snip off any thorny tips, about 1/4 inch from the top of the remaining leaves.
- Place the artichokes in a 10-inch round microwavable baking dish or possibly glass pie plate. Spread open the leaves of each artichoke and insert a little of the minced garlic between each leaf till all the garlic is used up. Sprinkle with pepper and half of the minced parsley. Drizzle oil over the artichokes. Pour in 1/4 c. water and add in salt. Cover tightly with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 12 to 16 min, or possibly till the bottoms pierce easily with a knife. Rotate the dish every 4 min. Let stand, covered, for 5 min.
- (At this point, the artichoke may be refrigerated and served at a later time, either reheated or possibly at room temperature.) Before serving, drain well, sprinkle with remaining parsley and additional pepper, if you like, and serve.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: Artichokes are so delicious when steamed simply with garlic and parsley which a sauce is unnecessary. Garlic fans will be in their glory with this version, those more timid might prefer to use fewer cloves. Cilantro, oregano, capers, Parmesan cheese, and even a touch of grated ginger can make nice flavor variations. Add in your favorites when spreading the leaves and inserting the garlic.
