  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
4 large artichokes, trimmed (see method, below)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan

2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place a metal steamer basket in a large saucepan and pour in water to a depth of 2". Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Bring water to a boil, then add artichokes. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer artichokes until stems and hearts are easily pierced with a paring knife, 30–40 minutes.
