Italian Steamed Artichokes

 Flora (United States) says:
Leave some of the stem, it is delish. Remember to cut the top of each leaf after taking 1" of top. Use any pot with top that fits tight, NO NEED TO BASTE. Forget all the other stuff but add salt to the water with some lemon juice. You can use some italian dressing or just lemon and butter or just lemon. ENJOY.

Sprinkling some parmesan cheese over them while steaming is also very tastey. And minced garlic. Lot's of garlic! Have melted butter dipping bowls to dip the leaves in while eating. Yum!

I stuff mine, with bread crumbs, Italian cheese, oregano, basil, pour little olive oil on top and steam until done.
