How Do You Make Artichokes In The Microwave?
For many years I have been boiling Artichokes on the stove. It seemed like it took forever till they were done especially when your hungry. Recently I heard you can make them in the microwave and it only takes a few minutes. When you wash the artichokes leave them wet and cover with wax paper and they steam which keeps all the nutrients from boiling out. They come out just as tender and I think more flavorful. Actually, I enjoy eating them more now cooking this way and it is probably healthier. Wash Artichokes and keep them wet so that they steam while cooking in Microwave. Cut about 1/2 inch off the bottom stem and place on a microwave safe plate and cover with wax paper. If your making one average size artichoke microwave on high for 6-7 minutes. For two average size 10-12 minutes on high. They are ready to eat with your favorite dipping sauce.
