Prepare the Artichokes
1

Fill a large bowl with water and add two tablespoons of lemon juice. Using a paring knife, remove the artichoke leaves and trim the hard edges at the base. Cut off the center and use a spoon to scoop out the hairy core to reveal a clean artichoke heart. Place the hearts in the lemon water to prevent oxidation. Tip: Rub lemon juice on your hands to prevent staining.
