- 1 Cut and discard stems from artichokes, making sure bottoms of each artichoke are flat. Cut and discard top 1 inch (or so) of each artichoke. Snip thorny ends from each artichoke leaf with a pair of kitchen scissors.

- 4 Bring water to a boil, cover the pot, and cook until leaves can be easily pulled from artichokes, 20 to 30 minutes.
