Ingredients
2 medium artichokes

Wash the artichokes. Cut off the stems at the base, and remove the small bottom leaves. Stand the artichokes upright in a deep saucepan filled with 2 to 3 inches of salted water. Cover and boil gently, 35 to 45 minutes. Turn the artichokes upside down to drain.

In a 1-cup microwavable liquid measure, combine the egg substitute and the spread. Microwave on low (20 percent) for 1 minute, stirring once halfway through cooking, until the spread is softened.

Stir the lemon juice and mustard into the egg substitute mixture. Microwave on low for 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until thickened. Stir in the pepper.
