how long does it take to steam artichokes
Cover. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 25 to 45 minutes or until the outer leaves can easily be pulled off. Note: artichokes can also be cooked in a pressure cooker (about 15-20 minutes cooking time).Cooking time depends on how large the artichoke is, the larger, the longer it takes to cook. Slice about 3/4 inch to an inch off the tip of the artichoke. 3 Pull off any smaller leaves towards the base and on the stem. 4 Cut excess stem, leaving up to an inch on the artichoke. The stems tend to be more bitter than the rest of the artichoke, but some people like to eat them.
