Steamed Artichokes are a delicious and healthy appetizer option that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal. They have a slightly nutty taste and a firm texture that pairs well with the tangy mayonnaise-mustard sauce. Artichokes are also versatile and can be steamed, grilled, or roasted depending on personal preference. They are a great addition to any diet and can be enjoyed by both meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.

Instructions

1.	Trim the artichokes and rinse under cold water. Cut off the top third of each artichoke and trim the stem to about an inch.
2.	In a large pot, place the artichokes stem-side down and add enough water to cover the bottom by about an inch.
3.	Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, kosher salt, and peppercorns to the pot.
4.	Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat and let the artichokes simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
5.	Remove from heat and let the artichokes cool for a few minutes before serving.
6.	In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and yellow mustard to make the dipping sauce.
7.	Serve the artichokes with the mayonnaise-mustard sauce and enjoy!
