A photo tutorial on how to make artichokes Instant Pot (or pressure cooker). This quick and easy method results in perfect artichokes every time!
Have you ever struggled while making artichokes on the stove top?
The artichokes are steaming, you’re multi-tasking, everything is going great. Until you check on the artichokes to find all the water has burned off. So you add more water, but it’s too cold and it takes a million years to heat back up.
Meanwhile, your artichokes seam to be getting harder rather than softer in their stubborn steadfast artichoke way. You persevere, but you watch your dinner sprout legs and take a route of its own.
Relatable?
Well, THIS JUST IN!:
I’m sharing a tutorial on how to make artichokes in the Instant Pot, and believe you me, this method is goof proof. No worrying about water levels or temperatures or the stubborn rock solid hardness of rogue artichokes.
Let’s do this!
How to Make Instant Pot Artichokes:
Use a sharp knife to cut the top inch off each artichoke.
Similarly, chop the stem off.
Use kitchen scissors to trim the pointy leaves.
Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and insert the wire rack.
Place artichokes on the wire rack. Seal the lid and press the Pressure Cook button. Set the timer for 10 minutes for medium-sized artichokes or 15 minutes for large. Keep the steam vent sealed.
Once the pressure cooker has run its course, use the quick release to let out the steam. Open the lid and remove the artichokes.
Serve artichokes with your favorite dipping sauce. Hint: I used the Tahini sauce from my Easy Chicken Shawarma recipe! You can get creative with homemade sauces, dressings, and aioli!
