Spiced artichokes
I like boiling artichokes the best because the cooking method is full proof but they do lack flavor so be sure to add the right amount of salt and spices.

Ingredients:
- 2 artichokes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt pink Himalayan
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dry oregano
- 2 lemons cut in half
Directions:
- Cut off the top third of the artichoke and the majority of its stem.
- Place a large pot with water on high heat and bring to a boil.
- Add the artichokes and cover. Once water is boiling again, turn down and simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, or until you can place a knife easily through the stem and strain.
- Let cool slightly and then cut in half. Use a spoon to remove the white and purple centers.
- Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with spices. Squeeze lemons on top. Optional: Serve with the dipping sauce.
Notes & Tips:
If you are a mayonase lover, create a dipping sauce using ½ cup of mayonaise, 1 zested fresh garlic and the juice of a ½ lemon. I prefer dipping my artichokes in techina or a yogurt sauce.
