question for the culinarily-inclined

[kellinator]

So I want to try steaming an artichoke. I have a microwave steamer which I figure should do nicely; are there any artichoke connoisseurs out there who have tips to share?

No, I don't really think "culinarily" is a word either.

If you can use the stove top. Microwaving strips it of nutrients.

I typically steam them with a little wine, lemon juice, & garlic and then make a yummy garlic & herb sauce to dip it in.
