STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON DIPPING SAUCE image

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 artichokes
1/2 cup Vegenaise
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons dijon mustard, low sodium
4 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

Cut one inch off the top of each artichoke and the very bottom of each stem, but keep the stem attached. Slice artichokes in half lengthwise. Place in a steamer basket over several inches of water. Bring water to a boil, cover and steam for 40 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, blend remaining ingredients together for dipping sauce. When artichokes are cooked, scoop out and discard the fibrous choke from the center of each artichoke. Eat heart as well as the tender insides of each leaf.
