  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • ½ tablespoon black pepper

Instructions

  8. Serve with the parsley as garnish.

Notes

This dish can be made either with fresh or frozen artichoke hearts (also known as cores, which are the most tender center part of the artichoke) 

If using frozen, there’s no need to thaw them first, simply add them to the instant pot and cook them following these steps. 

When opening the lid, if there’s too much liquid, you can cook them in the sautee mode for 5 minutes on low to help reduce the sauce. 

This side dish is well kept in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
