Artichokes With Garlic Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 medium artichokes
1 c. plain low-fat yogurt
1 Tbsp. fresh parsley
1 Tbsp. fresh chives
2 tsp. chili sauce
3/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Preparation

Using a sharp French chef knife, cut off and discard stems and tough bottom leaves of artichokes so they will sit upright.
Cut off one inch straight across the top of the artichokes.
Using scissors, trim the sharp tips off each leaf.
Rinse in cool water; drain and wrap individually in heavy-duty plastic wrap. Place each wrapped artichoke bottom side up in a custard cup. Rotating each cup and rearranging midway through cooking, microwave on High 10 to 12 minutes.
Let stand 10 to 15 minutes.
