Artichokes with Rosemary-Garlic Mayonnaise
This doesn’t even qualify as a recipe. I just needed to show how easy it is to microwave an artichoke in a fraction of the time it takes to boil or steam one. It’s ridiculously easy and sooooo delicious. And in the few minutes that it’s cooking away in the microwave, you can whip up…
