Servings 2 people
Equipment
- 1 food steamer
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
For the artichokes:
- 6 large organic artichokes or 10 small mini artichokes
- 2 organic lemons, rind
- 3 organic lemons, cut
For the sauce:
- 2 organic limes, juiced
- 1 large organic orange, juiced
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 2 droppers VIMERGY Total Immune Blend
- 1 tsp organic garlic powder
Instructions
For the artichokes:
- Place the artichokes in a pan with the lemon rind and cut lemons.
- Steam for about 15–20 minutes, stirring gently, until tender.
For the sauce:
- Add lime juice, orange juice, honey, Total Immune Blend, and garlic powder to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- To finish: Once the artichokes are ready, peel the leaves, dip into the sauce, and enjoy.
Notes
- The lemon does double duty here, it flavors the artichokes and helps keep them from browning while they cook.
- Add the Total Immune Blend to the sauce after cooking, never into anything hot. This helps preserve the healing properties of the tincture.
- Gently grab one of the outer leaves near the middle of the artichoke.
- If it pulls away easily with just a gentle tug, the artichoke is done.
- If you have to really pull or the leaf tears instead of coming out, it needs more time.
- Add more cooking time for large globe artichokes.
