Artichokes With Garlic Butter Sauce Recipe

Ingredients for Artichokes With Garlic Butter Sauce

• 4 large artichokes
• Dry White Wine
• Garlic Cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• Oregano
• Basil
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into cubes

How to Make Artichokes With Garlic Butter Sauce

1. Trim the stems of the 4 artichokes so they stand upright.
2. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Carefully place the artichokes in the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
3. Cover the pot and steam for 30-40 minutes, or until the artichoke leaves are tender when pierced with a fork.
4. Remove the artichokes from the pot and drain well.
5. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of dry white wine and 6 minced cloves of garlic. Simmer over medium heat until the wine is reduced by half (about 5-7 minutes).
6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Reduce heat to low.
7. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, one cube at a time, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve the artichokes immediately, drizzled generously with the garlic butter sauce.
