ARTICHOKE INGREDIENTS

⭐️ 2 tbsp lemon juice ⭐️ ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil ⭐️ 1 tsp dijon mustard ⭐️ 1 tsp dried oregano ⭐️ 1 tsp honey ⭐️ ½ tsp kosher salt

DIPPING SAUCE INGREDIENTS

⭐️ Artichokes are in season NOW! Peak season is March - June.  ⭐️ Artichokes are super high in fiber and low in calories

Trim the artichoke stems using a paring knife.

1

Slice 1" from the top. Loosen the center leaves.

2

Trim the tops of the exposed leaves.

3

Add water, lemon slices, and bay leaf to the inner pot, then fit with a trivet.

4

Place trimmed artichokes onto the trivet; overlap or stacking is okay.

5

Pressure cook high pressure for 9 minutes, then quick release.

6

Serve warm with lemon dipping sauce.

7

Testing for doneness - if a leaf pulls off with little resistance, the artichokes are cooked through.
