INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut about 1 inch off the top of each artichoke, trim the stems, and pull off the bottom few rows of leaves.
2. Put enough water to cover the artichokes in a good-size kettle and bring it to a boil.
3. Add a couple of teaspoons of salt and drop in the artichokes.
4. Turn the burner down and let the artichokes simmer until they’re tender. Depending on how big they are, this could take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.
5. When the artichokes are done, drain them well.
6. Divide the aioli between four small dishes.
7. Put a dish of aioli and an artichoke on each serving plate.
