Recipe of the month

Steamed Artichokes 1 artichoke (or as many as you'd like) 1 TBSP Smart Balance Buttery Spread

1. Cut tips off artichokes outer leaves, scissors work great for this.

 

2. Cut end off the stem and cut the top of the artichoke off.

 

3. Cut artichoke in half lengthwise. With a spoon scoop out the furry insides and discard them.

 

4. Place Potato filling in a bowl and place skins back on the baking sheet then set aside.

 

5. Place artichoke in pot filled with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. When it boils, turn down heat to a simmer and cook until leaves pull off easily - about 20 minutes. Be sure to check the pot often to make sure that there is still water in it. If necessary add more water.

 

6. Serve with 1 tablespoon melted Smart Balance.

 

ENJOY!
