- 2
Trim the artichokes: slice off the top 1 inch of each artichoke with a sharp knife, then snip the sharp tips from the outer leaves with kitchen scissors. Cut the stem flush with the base so each artichoke sits flat. Rub all cut surfaces immediately with the cut side of the lemon halves to prevent browning, then squeeze any remaining juice into the steaming water.
