Ingredients

4 large artichokes
1 cup mayonnaise
3 Tbsp. chopped dill
2 Tbsp. chopped capers
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Smoked sea salt
1/4 tsp. smoked sweet paprika
Hot sauce
Freshly ground pepper

Directions

1. Step 1Set a steamer basket in a large pot over 1/2 inch of boiling water. Arrange the artichokes, stem side down, in the basket. Cover and steam over moderate heat until a knife easily pierces the stems, about 30 minutes. Transfer the artichokes to a platter.
2. Step 2In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, dill, capers, lemon zest and juice, salt, and paprika. Add a few dashes of hot sauce and season the mayonnaise with pepper. Serve the artichokes warm or lightly chilled with the mayonnaise.
