Simple Steamed Artichokes

Rinse the artichokes well, cut off the stems and remove a few or four loose leaves from the bottom

Place plenty of water with salt in a large pot and let it come to a boil

Add the lemon slices, pepper, and rosemary

Add the artichokes, placing them stem-side down, and cook for 30 to 40 minutes

The artichokes will be cooked when it's easy to remove one leaf

Remove from the water and let drain stem-side down

Arrange the artichokes on a platter and serve with various sauces.
