Artichokes with Salty Butter

Ingredients:

  • 2 artichokes

  • 1/2 lemon

  • 3 liter (13 cups) water

  • 3 teaspoon salt

How to make it:

1.    If you have artichokes from your own garden. Put them in a bucket of water with a dash of vinegar for about an hour. This will clean them for unwelcome bugs.

2.    Pour water, add lemon, and salt in a pot. Let it come to a boil.

3.    Add artichokes in the boiling water and let simmer for about 40 min.

4.    Lift the artichokes out of the water and place them on a dish.

5.    Enjoy this perfect starter with real dairy butter.

Each leaf has a small meaty part at the bottom, and at the end you will discover the tender artichoke heart. Scrape the hair off and eat it with some extra butter and salt.
