    These are awesome! Talk about a delicious and different way to makes artichokes. Steaming and then sauteing leads to a wonderful flavor. We’ve cut the fat and calories by using a small amount of reduced-fat butter. This artichoke dish is low calorie, low fat and low sodium, plus it’s high in fiber.

    Ingredients

    • 2 large artichokes (about 1 pound each)
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 3 cloves garlic (1 tablespoon), chopped
    • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter
    • Garlic powder
    • Fresh ground pepper

    Directions

    1. Wash artichokes just before using. Make sure to flush out any dirt found between the leaves. Slice off the stem to form a flat base.
    2. Fill a pot with about 3 inches of water. Add lemon juice to the water. Place artichokes in water. Make sure they sit on the bottom. Bring to a boil, cover and cook over moderate heat for about 40-50 minutes until a leaf comes off easily. Drain and cool enough to handle.
    3. Using a sharp knife, cut each artichoke in half. Using a spoon, remove and discard the fuzzy choke.
    4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds to flavor the butter. Arrange artichoke halves cut-side down in pan. Saute over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned. Move artichokes around a few times while cooking. Turn over, add 1 tablespoon butter and move around to melt. Continue cooking for about 5 -6 minutes until browned. Turn artichokes over and cook for 1 minute.
    5. Remove artichokes from heat. Sprinkle with a little pepper and garlic powder, if desired
