| Atkins - Artichokes with Lemon-Butter
ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON-BUTTER Servings: 4

Bake/Cook time: 0:15:00 Calories: 266
Fat: 23 grams
Protein: 4 grams
Carbohydrates: 14 grams
Fiber: 6 grams
Net Carbs: 8 grams
4 whole artichokes (preferably pointed-leaf, not globe
artichokes)
4 lemons
2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
2 tablespoons salt
1 stick unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
1. Trim the stems of the artichokes to about 2 inches.
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot . Halve 3
lemons and squeeze juice into water. Add lemon halves,
coriander seeds and salt.
2. Place artichokes in the cooking liquid, and cover with a
heavy plate to keep them from floating. Boil 15 minutes,
until a paring knife, inserted where the stem meets the
bottom, comes out easily.
3. In a small bowl, melt butter in a microwave or saucepan.
Mix in juice of remaining lemon, salt and pepper
4. Serve each person one whole artichoke, accompanied
by a ramekin of butter sauce and a large bowl for
discarded leaves.
The elegant artichoke stands on its own as a self-contained
snack or appetizer. Each part has its own character, from the
earthy bits of meat on the outer leaves to the dense heart at the
bottom. Atkins - Artichokes with Lemon-Butter
