Steamed Artichoke

There are few veggies I love more than the artichoke!  Great on pizzas, in salad, in a dip, or just steamed and eaten leaf by leaf.  The other night I was cooking for one so I splurged (3.99 each.. dang!).

I chopped a clove of garlic, drizzled some olive oil and sprinkled sea salt over the artichoke. I also poured some beer on top (Brooklyn EIPA) before steaming for about 45 minutes. 


When the leaves come off easily, you know it's ready to eat.  I just love the process of scraping the "meat" off the leaves, and then the heart is like a little prize at the end :)
