Ingredients
2 globe artichokes
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Sea salt to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Sea salt to taste
Where to find ingredients
Globe artichokes are typically found in the fresh produce section of most supermarkets. Look for ones that feel heavy for their size with tightly packed leaves. If you cannot find them, you may check specialty greengrocers or high-end food halls. The white wine vinegar is available in the vinegar or condiments aisle of any local grocery store. Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavour in your dipping sauce.
Preparation method
- Trim off any tough stems from the base of the artichokes
- Place the artichokes upside down inside the pressure cooker
- Ensure the leaves are facing towards the bottom of the pot
- Pour in enough water to cover the artichokes completely
- Check that the water level does not exceed your pressure cooker's maximum fill line
- Lock the lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat
- Once the cooker reaches pressure, turn the heat down to low to maintain it
- Cook for 10 minutes under pressure
- While they cook, melt your butter in the microwave
- Whisk the melted butter with two tablespoons of water and the vinegar
- Season the dipping sauce with salt to your liking
- Turn off the heat once the cooking time is up
- Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid
- Remove the artichokes carefully and serve hot with the butter dipping sauce
Observations
Artichokes are a sophisticated and delicious vegetable, but they can be time-consuming to cook. Using a pressure cooker drastically cuts down the time, making this an ideal vegetable side dish for a busy weeknight. Serving them with a simple melted butter dip brings out that lovely, natural earthy sweetness.
