Boiled Artichoke with Dipping Sauce Recipe



Carmina has friends saying they love eating artichoke, yet they don't know how to cook it from the stove top.

They end up purchasing the ones that are marinated that is inside a bottle.

Carmina prefers to eat the fresh ones if she could when it is in season in California.

I can just eat it as my meal along with my favorite melted butter with mayo.



Carmina was able to purchase her artichokes at Safeway Grocery for 2 for $5.00.

I am sure you can purchase somewhere else since I was shopping with Mom Violy it was the place, I got mine.

Cooking Instructions:

Place artichoke in a big pot and fill water inside bowl it for forty-five minutes until you begin to smell it from your kitchen and home.

The water will be color green another way you know it is already cooked.

Remove the cooked artichokes with a tong and place it on a strainer and place it on a plate.

Dipping Sauce:

  • Butter
  • Mayonnaise
Slice the butter how much you want, place in a bowl and microwave it for one twenty-five minutes.
Add the mayo and mix well it is ready to eat with your cooked artichokes.


To those who don't know how to eat an artichoke there are steps. Remove the leaves and eat the tips and dip with the sauce.




The best part is when you reach the heart of the artichoke just make sure you remove the hair using a knife to scrape it out.



Enjoy the fresh artichokes and now you've tried Carmina favorite vegetable.
