Preparation

Trim the stems of the artichokes to about 2 inches.
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot.
Squeeze all lemons.
Put half of the lemons juice into water and add lemon peels, coriander seeds and salt.
Place artichokes in the cooking liquid, and cover with a heavy plate or lid to keep them from floating.
Boil 15 minutes, until a paring knife, inserted where the stem meets the bottom, comes out easily.
Melt butter in a saucepan. Mix in juice of remaining lemon, salt and pepper.
Serve one whole artichoke per serving, accompanied by a ramekin of butter sauce and a bowl for discarded leaves.
