Authentic ! Artichokes with Hollandaise Sauce
- 2 Artichokes
- 100 grams Butter
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 Egg yolks
- Cut off the tip of each of the artichoke leaves with scissors.
- (Be careful of the prickles.)
- Use a knife to cut off the top part.
- Place the artichokes upside down in a heated steamer and steam them for 10 to 15 minutes over high heat.
- In the meantime, make the sauce.
- Put the butter in a small frying pan or a small pot, and heat it over very low heat so that it melts at a low temperature without browning.
- Mix the egg yolks and lemon juice and add them to the butter.
- Keep stirring while heating the mixture over very low heat.
- When it thickens like custard cream, it's done.
- How to eat: Take an outer leaf off...
- Dip the root end of the leaf into the sauce...
- Eat from the tender bits of the root end by closing your teeth on it and pulling the leaf outward.
- Keep eating until you get to the bud shaped smaller center leaves near the heart.
- Pull off the center leaves and eat all of them together.
- If you remove the center leaves, you can see the choke on the top of the heart.
- The hairy part is not edible.
- Remove the choke using a spoon, and then you can eat the rest.
- Dip it into the sauce and enjoy.
- This sauce is also good with boiled asparagus and on Eggs Benedict.
- If you mix the sauce with tomato ketchup or tomato puree, it will turn into aurora sauce.
- The sauce doesn't keep well, so please eat it while freshly made and still warm!
