Ingredients

2 whole artichokes
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, sliced
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Fill a pot with enough water to cover the bottom and bring to a boil over medium heat. While the water is heating, prepare the artichokes by trimming and discarding the stems and tough outer leaves. Tuck slivers of butter and slices of garlic in between the artichoke leaves; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the water is boiling, place a steamer insert into the pot and arrange the artichokes stem-side down in the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid and allow the artichokes to steam until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
