Description

This Instant Pot Artichokes recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to enjoy tender, perfectly steamed artichokes paired with a rich garlic butter and a zesty lemon dipping sauce. Utilizing the Instant Pot dramatically reduces cooking time while retaining all the delicate flavors and textures, making it an ideal appetizer or side for any meal.

Ingredients

Artichokes and Seasoning

  • 1 Whole Artichoke (up to 4 medium artichokes fit in an Instant Pot)
  • 1 cup liquid (water or broth)
  • 1 lemon
  • Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, to taste

Garlic Butter

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Lemon Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Artichokes: Snap off the tough outer leaves and remove the outer part of the stem. Slice off the top 1/2 inch of the artichoke to allow steam to penetrate and cook the heart effectively.
  2. Place in Instant Pot: Set the trimmed artichokes on the trivet inside the Instant Pot. Pour in 1 cup of liquid (water or broth). Squeeze lemon juice over the artichokes and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
  3. Pressure Cook: Seal the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Once the cooking cycle ends, perform a manual release of the pressure.
  4. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted salted butter with minced garlic and dried parsley. Stir until well blended and fragrant.
  5. Prepare Lemon Dipping Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic together in a bowl. Adjust flavor as needed by adding more lemon juice or olive oil to thin the sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Choose artichokes of medium size for even cooking.
  • Use water or vegetable broth as the cooking liquid for added flavor variation.
  • Manual pressure release helps prevent overcooking and ensures tender, not mushy, artichokes.
  • The garlic butter can also be warmed slightly before serving for enhanced aroma.
  • The lemon dipping sauce can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes (10 minutes pressure cooking + 5 minutes prep and release)
