f you like to eat your artichokes with a creamy, mayonnaise-based sauce, this one's for you. The chipotle pepper adds spice and some sweetness that balances the flavor of the artichoke. For a milder sauce, use only half of a pepper. You can also microwave your artichokes for 5-8 minutes in a microwave-safe dish with a small amount of water in the bottom. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a lid before cooking, and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
