Chilled Artichokes W/Spicy Mustard Sauce
- 6 large artichokes
- 1/2 lemon
- Spicy Mustard Sauce
- 1 cup nonfat or low-fat yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, grainy-style preferred
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1. Wash each artichoke and slice off both ends so that it can sit flatly on a surface. Immediately rub the cut ends with the lemon half to prevent discoloration. Cut away any ragged leaves, and snip off the sharp edges of the leaves with a kitchen scissors. Steam the artichokes in a vegetable steamer, or on a rack in a pot with 1 inch of water and cook for 40 to 45 minutes, over medium heat, or until a leaf can be removed easily. (Be careful not to let the water boil away.) Remove from the pan with tongs, drain thoroughly and chill in a covered container in the refrigerator.
- 2. Whisk the sauce ingredients together and chill until ready to use.
- 3. Serve each chilled artichoke with a small container of sauce, garnished with lemon wedges.
