HOW I MAKE MY SEXY VEGAN ARTICHOKE WITH LEMON BUTTER DIP #VeganFoodies #...

Hello, fabulous viewers! 🌱👨‍🍳 Welcome back to another hilarious episode of "What's Cooking, Good Looking?" I'm your host, a proud gay vegan man, bringing you the joy of culinary adventures from Sweden. Today, we're diving into the art of cooking artichokes – a delicious and rewarding experience you won't want to miss! 🍽️🇸🇪 Here's the lowdown on creating these delectable artichokes: **Ingredients:** - 2 large artichokes - 2-3 cloves of garlic (optional) - Lemon juice (1 lemon) - Olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste **Instructions:** 1. **Prepare the artichokes:** - Start by giving those artichokes a good rinse under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. - Trim about 1 inch off the top of each artichoke, ridding them of those prickly thorny tips. - Grab your trusty kitchen shears to trim the sharp points from the remaining outer leaves. - Snip off the stem, leaving about 1/2 inch. - For an extra touch, use a paring knife to shed the tough outer layer of the stem, revealing its tender inner part. - Don't forget to give them a lemony rubdown to prevent browning. 2. **Steam the artichokes:** - Pop the prepared artichokes into a steamer basket. - If you're feeling fancy, add some crushed garlic cloves to the center of each artichoke for that delightful garlic infusion. - Let the magic happen as you steam the artichokes for about 30-45 minutes. The exact time depends on their size, so keep an eye out. They're ready when you can effortlessly pull off an outer leaf, and it's tender. 3. **Serve:** - Once the artichokes emerge from the steamy cocoon, remove them with care. - Shower them with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. - Feeling saucy? Serve them with a dipping sauce like aioli or melted butter infused with garlic. 4. **Eating:** - To savor the artichoke, start by plucking off the outer leaves, one by one. Dip the base of each leaf into your sauce of choice and scrape the tender flesh with your teeth. - Keep going until you reach the innermost leaves, which are even more tender and delicious. - Now, brace yourself for the "choke," a fuzzy layer covering the heart. Use a spoon to scrape away this layer, revealing the coveted artichoke heart. - The heart is the true gem, tender and full of flavor. Enjoy it with a knife and fork. So there you have it – a mouthwatering journey into the world of artichokes!
