Directions

  1. Trim the stalks off the artichokes so that they can sit upright on a plate. Rinse.
  2. Arrange the artichokes in a pan large enough to hold them in a single layer.  Pour enough cold water over them to come a third the way up their sides. Sprinkle a little sea salt over them.
  3. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Then cover and turn the heat down to low, simmer for 30 minutes until tender, or until the outer leaves easily come away when pulled.
  4. Line a platter with paper towel. Using tongs, lift the artichokes from the pan onto the paper. Let cool.
  5. Artichokes are best eaten at room temperature. Once cooled, remove from platter, discard the damp paper and dry the platter. Rearrange the artichokes on the platter and serve with Mustard Vinaigrette.

Esto es para hervir alcachofas, no cocinar al vapor

Response from Cook for Your Life

Hola Seba, gracias por tu comentario. En realidad, el término hervir se utiliza cuando el vegetal queda completamente cubierto de agua. En este caso, al estar sumergido solo un tercio en agua y al cocinarse con la olla tapada, el término correcto sería cocinado al vapor.
