Notes

Serving size is 1 steamed artichoke and 2 tablespoons tahini sauce.
Cooking time depends on artichoke size. Small artichokes: 20–25 minutes. Medium: 30–35 minutes. Large: 40–45 minutes. The artichoke is done when the outer leaves pull off easily and a knife slides into the stem without resistance.
