Mustard Tarragon Vinaigrette
+ 1 shallot, minced
+ 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar (15 mL)
+ 1/2 tsp. salt (2 mL)
+ 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard (30 mL)
+ 1/3 c. canola oil (75 mL)
+ 2 Tbsp. chopped tarragon (30 mL)
+ 1 Tbsp. chopped parsley (1 mL)

Artichokes
+ 3 strips orange zest, white pith removed
+ 1 Tbsp. black peppercorns (15 mL)
+ 1 bay leaf
+ 3 sprigs thyme
+ 1 large sprig tarragon
+ 1/2 tsp. salt (2 mL)
+ 4 large artichokes
What to do:
1. To prepare vinaigrette: In small bowl, combine shallots with vinegar and 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) salt. Let sit for 5 minutes to combine flavors. Add mustard and mix well. Slowly whisk in canola oil. Once canola oil has been incorporated, add tarragon and parsley. Set aside.
2. To prepare artichokes: In large pot, combine 2 cups (500 mL) water with orange zest, peppercorns, bay leaf, thyme, tarragon and 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Set steamer basket on pot and arrange artichokes in basket. Reduce heat to a simmer and steam until artichokes are tender and pull away easily, about 45 minutes.
4. Serve artichokes hot or at room temperature with Mustard Tarragon Vinaigrette.
