Simmer until the potatoes, carrots and artichoke bottoms are fork-tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Reduce the heat to a low simmer while preparing the avgolemono sauce.

Break off the tough leaves around the bottom, and using a large, sharp chef's knife, cut away the tops about an inch above the widest part of the artichoke. Then trim the base by holding a paring knife at a 45-degree angle and turning the artichoke against the knife. You should end up with bare artichoke bottoms with no leaves and smooth sides. Peel the stems. Cut the artichoke bottom in half, scoop out the spiny inner leaves and the choke, and immediately plunge it into the bowl of acidulated water.
• Oil a large casserole. Drain the artichokes, take two halves and press them together to make a single artichoke, and place in the casserole, stem up. Repeat with the remaining artichokes, squeezing them into the pot with their stems facing up.
• Add enough water to the casserole to come a third of the way up the sides of the artichoke bottoms. Drizzle in the remaining lemon juice and the olive oil. Add salt to taste and sprinkle on the dill. Bring to a simmer, cover tightly and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then transfer to a platter. Discard the liquid in the pot. Serve cold or room temperature, garnished, if desired, with fresh dill.

Salt and pepper the ingredients and add your bouillon cube. Boil for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes just start to get tender. If using canned artichokes, add them now and simmer for about another 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

• Beat the egg whites until stiff. Add the yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour in the lemon juice, beating continuously. Pour in a cup of stock from the artichokes a little at a time. This must be done to keep the eggs from curdling. Pour into the artichokes and stir gently.
