Instant Pot Artichoke
Artichokes. I LOVE ARTICHOKES. They have been a staple in my house for as long as I can remember. They are easily my favorite food.
The green guys are full of healthy prebiotic fiber. 1 medium choke has almost 50% of your daily fiber needs! They are also an amazing source of vitamin c, magnesium, folate, and vitamin K.
I could write an entire love letter to artichokes… but I will save you and just get to the cookin…

The artichoke will be done when you can easily poke it with a fork and the leaves fall off ease.

They do take a few more minutes when you cook them whole. When whole, cook for 8 minutes on high pressure.
What do I serve artichokes with?
Butter, aioli, or mayo great with artichokes!
How to eat an artichoke:
Pull the leaves off and scrap the meat off with your teeth. Once you get to the heart, scrap the “choke” or the hairy stuff off of the heart. Cut up the heart and enjoy!
