Step 1

Using a sharp knife, cut about 1-inch off the top of the artichoke. Cut off the stem.

Step 2

Place artichokes stem side up in a steamer basket or rack. This allows the steam to fall out of the artichoke as it cooks.

Step 3

Allow to steam for 45 minutes - 1 hour.

Step 4

Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce by combining all the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Serve alongside the steamed artichokes.
