ROSEMARY ARTICHOKE WITH HERBED DIPPING SAUCE
ROSEMARY ARTICHOKE WITH HERBED DIPPING SAUCE. When you choose artichokes at the grocery store, you want to look for firmer artichokes. My secret tip is to look for artichokes with a longer stem. The stem is an extension of the heart and tastes delicious. Be sure to shave off the tough outer layer with a vegetable peeler before cooking though to make sure that it will soften. My last tip is to rub lemon on freshly cut artichokes to prevent browning. Artichokes will brown quickly like apples, so adding a layer to prevent oxidization will help.

While the artichokes are steaming, make the mayonnaise. Whisk together the egg yolks, mustard, and lemon juice. Add in the vegetable oil by drizzling it into the mixture slowly while quickly whisking. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture emulsifies and begins to thicken. Thin with water as needed and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup of fresh herbs to season.
