Ingredients

4 servings

For the artichokes

4 large artichokes
1 lime, halved
4 garlic cloves, smashed
½ cup fresh cilantro stems and leaves, loosely packed
½ tsp salt

For the dipping sauce

¼ cup avocado oil
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely minced
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1
Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water. Add the smashed garlic cloves, cilantro stems and leaves, the juice of half the lime (squeeze it directly into the water), and 1/2 tsp salt. Set a steamer basket inside the pot — the water should sit just below the basket.
2
Trim the artichokes: slice off the top 1 inch of each artichoke with a chef's knife, then snip the sharp tips from the outer leaves with kitchen shears if desired. Rub all cut surfaces immediately with the remaining lime half to prevent browning.
