Peel and slice garlic lengthwise. Rinse artichokes. Gently peel back leaves of the artichoke, inserting slivers of garlic every other leaf or so. Repeat with peppercorns, inserting them in between the leaves.
Steam artichokes for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until leaves pulls easily from the core.
Serve with mayonaise (mixed with lemon pepper is delicious) or melted butter for dipping ends of leaves.

This is an easy and delicious way to jazz up a succulent side dish or appetizer. The garlic becomes very mellow with the long steaming, it's totally edible. Your friends will rave!
