I love fresh artichokes and steaming them is an easy way to prepare these healthy green vegetables. They are full of flavor and offer so many key benefits. Give them a try.

Instructions
- Place a steamer basket in a large pot and fill with water until just under the basket level.

- Cover the pot.
- Steam for 25-45 minutes depending on the size and number of artichokes. Artichokes are ready when leaves pull off the stem easily.
- When done, remove from the heat. Let the artichokes stand for 5 or more minutes or until the leaves have cooled enought to eat. Serve with hot garlic butter, mayonnaise or preferred condiment. Enjoy!
