Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized artichokes
  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) mayonnaise
  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) crème fraîche

  • 45 ml (3 tbsp) fresh chives, thinly sliced

  4. In the colander section of a large steamer pot filled halfway with water, cook the artichokes head down for 25 to 30 minutes, depending on their size.
