Artichoke with whipped lemon butter
Whole, cooked artichokes served with a delicious and lightly whipped lemon butter. A super lovely and decorative starter that makes guests take a second look!
Ingredients
- 4 Artichokes
- 80 gram Butter approximately
- 1 Lemon organic
- 35 gram Sour Cream
- Salt to taste
- Pepper from a grinder
Instructions
Whipped lemon butter
- Take the butter out of the refrigerator and weigh it out in a bowl.
- Then let the bowl sit on the kitchen counter for 15-20 minutes, so the butter can reach room temperature.
- Add the sour cream to the butter and whisk the two together with an electric mixer. Halve the lemon. Set one half aside.
- Squeeze some of the juice from the other half lemon (better too little than too much) into the mixture of butter and sour cream.
- Whisk again. Optionally, add more of the juice from the already lightly pressed half lemon, if you like.
- Season to taste with a little salt (preferably flake salt) and freshly ground pepper.
- Place the whipped lemon butter in the fridge.
Cooked artichokes
- Find a pot that can hold all 4 artichokes.
- Fill the pot with water.
- Slice the last half lemon and throw the slices into the water with a little salt.
- Place the pot on the stove and bring it to a boil.
- Find a cutting board and a large vegetable knife.
- Cut off the stems of all the artichokes (the whole stem, yes).
- Throw the prepared artichokes into the now boiling water.
- Let the artichokes boil for about 20 minutes.
- Turn off the stove and take the boiled artichokes out of the water. Optionally, place them on the cutting board or a plate to drain the excess water.
- Place a whole artichoke on each plate and serve!
