Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Remove the bottom 3-4 leaves from the artichokes and cut off the stem just below the base. Rinse the artichokes under cold running water. Trim the tips of the leaves with scissors. Add the artichokes to the boiling water, add the lemon juice or vinegar, bring to a boil, and cook until the artichokes are tender (they are done when the leaves come out easily). Arrange the artichokes on a platter and garnish with parsley. For the sauce, whisk the oil with the herb vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper until thickened. Stir in the herbs. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and serve separately with the artichokes.
