Artichokes with Vegan Lemon Butter Sauce
Ingredients
2-4 artichokes
Sauce
1/4 cup vegan butter (we like Earth Balance)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
pepper to taste
Directions
Wash artichokes, then trim the stems and remove the loose outer leaves. Cut off 1 inch from each of the artichoke tops and then cut of the sharp tips of each leaf, brushing the cut edges with lemon juice. Fill a kettle with salted water and bring it to a boil over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, add artichokes, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the leaf pulls easily out of the artichoke.
While the artichokes are simmering, prepare the sauce. Melt the margarine over medium-high heat, then stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice. Add a bit of pepper to taste.
Serve the artichokes with the vegan butter sauce for dipping, and enjoy!
