Cut the stems off each artichoke with half an inch off the top. Rinse under cool water.
Place the artichokes in a pot with 2-3 inches of water, the bay leaf, garlic cloves and lemon slices. Bring the water to a boil, then turn down the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 25-35 minutes or until the artichoke easily comes off the leaves and stem is softened.
Mustard Balsamic Sauce: Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until incorporated.
