2. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 to 50 minutes. The artichokes are done when the bottom leaves can be pulled off with ease.
To make the sauce:
1. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, and anchovy paste. Stir vigorously until the anchovy paste dissolves.
