Ingredients:
- 1 lemon
- 2 artichokes
- 1 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- Trim stems of artichokes and tops (approximately 1 inch). Cut artichokes in half and use a pairing knife to remove the fuzzy purple section at the heart of the artichokes.
- Place artichoke halves in a microwave safe bowl and cover with a paper towel. Steam in the microwave for 3 - 6 minutes (this will depend on the size of your artichokes). Beginning checking for doneness after 3 minutes. The heart of the artichoke should be easily pierceable with a fork and the leaves should be pliable.

- Remove artichokes from pan and plate. Zest lemon directly over artichokes. Serve warm.
