Trim the top of the artichoke by cutting off 1/4 of the top (about an inch) and discard. Then, arrange artichokes in a steamer insert or basket in a pot deep enough to keep artichokes above water. Cover and steam over rapid-boiling water (making sure to maintain the water level), until artichokes are tender. Depending on size and quantity of artichokes, steaming time can range from 30 to 50 minutes; lift out carefully and drain. Chill until ready to eat or serve warm.
• While artichokes are steaming: Place all ingredients except bell pepper and artichokes in blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth. Remove from blender; stir in bell pepper. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
• Remove leaved from artichokes and arrange them on serving platter. Place 1 teaspoons of sauce on each leaf, or place the bowl of dip in center of leaves. Serve.
