Ingredients
- 4 organic artichokes
- 1 cup avocado-oil mayo
- juice from 1 organic lemon
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp honey
Preparation
1. Prepare the artichokes. Begin by peeling off the bottom layer of petals. With a kitchen shears, cut the tips off the first 2-3 rows of petals from the bottom. Finish by cutting off the top 1 1/2 inch of the artichoke with a sharp knife. If you’re not cooking immediately, rub the cut edges of the artichoke with lemon to prevent browning.
2. Place the artichokes top down in Instant Pot with one cup of water. Cook on manual setting for 10 minutes.
3. While the artichokes are steaming, prepare the sauce. Combine mayo, juice from the lemon, vinegar, garlic powder and honey.
4. When artichokes are finished cooking, enjoy immediately. Peel off each petal and start dipping!
