"My favorite way to eat artichokes is the simplest. I gave the recipe for two, because I like to sit and eat one with my sister. However, adjust the recipe for however many you want to make. I use pepper but not salt to season, but of course you can use salt if you prefer a saltier taste."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cut off stem end as well as 1 inch of the top, remove outermost leaves of artichokes and snip off pointy tips of remaining leaves.
Step 2
Steam, covered in a steaming rack over boiling water about 1/2 hour until base of an artichoke is soft enough to pierce easily (you'll probably have to replace the water over time).
Step 3
Microwave lemon 15 seconds (releases more juice) and then juice lemon--you should end up with 3-4 Tbs juice. Discard peel.
Step 4
In a small skillet, sauté garlic and thyme in oil about 1 minute.
Step 5
With a fork or tiny whisk, whisk in lemon juice, butter and pepper and remove from heat.
Step 6
To eat, dip individual leaves in lemon-butter and scrape the "meat" of the artichokes into your mouth with your front teeth.
