Cut stems off of artichokes. With a sharp knife cut of tip of artichoke. Using kitchen scissors cut spikey tips off of leaves. In a large, shallow pan pour 3-4 inches of water and add artichokes. Cover and let steam 40-45 min, adding additional water if necessary. Serve with melted butter.
I've been wanting my kids to try artichokes in their truest form for a while. I am so happy that they gave it a try and even happier still that they LOVED them! There are many thicker, richer sauces traditionally used to dip the leaves in, but I prefer melted butter. It is definitely rich, but it only takes a little bit of butter to give it great flavor.

I'm so glad you posted this...I always want to try them, but never know quite what to do with them. Maybe now I'll give them a try!
mmmmmm, I like artichokes. They don't get the credit they deserve
Even better with a squeeze of lemon in the butter. Mmm. My kids are big fans. I remember taking them to the grocery store when they were small and they were chanting "artichokes, artichokes, we want artichokes."
