Cut squash in half and remove seeds and
fibres. Place cut side down in a
microwaveable casserole, soufflé or other
dish that will hold the squash in a single layer.
Add water. Cover dish tightly with a lid, plate
or microwavable plastic wrap. Microwave on
High (PL-10) according for about 8 to 12
minutes, until tender when tested with a
sharp knife. Let stand for 3 minutes.
While squash is cooking, combine maple
syrup, soy, cinnamon, and freshly ground
pepper to taste. When squash is tender,

maple syrup mixture evenly between the
squash halves. Use a pastry brush to

Place water, lemon slice, garlic, shallot,
and olive oil in a 3-quart (7.6 L) microwave
safe casserole with lid.
Wash artichokes under cold water. Pull off
lower outer leaves/petals and discard.
Trim stem ends so that artichokes will sit
upright. Cut off top inch of artichoke and
use kitchen snips/shears to trim sharp tips
of leaves. Rub all cut surfaces
immediately after cutting with lemon half
to prevent discolouration. Place on sides
in seasoned water in casserole and cover
with a sheet of waxed paper, then the lid.
Microwave on High (PL-10) for 8 minutes.
Turn artichokes over, cover and
microwave on High (PL-10) for 8 minutes
longer. Stand artichokes upright in liquid
and cover. Let stand for 5 minutes before
serving.

Lemon Herb Dip (recipe follows) or other
