Description
Tender, smoky artichokes grilled to perfection, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
- 2 large globe artichokes
- 2 lemons (one for juicing, one sliced for grilling)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, herbs like thyme or rosemary
Instructions
- Prep the artichokes: Trim the stems, remove the tough outer leaves, and cut off about an inch from the top. Rub with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Parboil: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the artichokes and cook for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- Season: Brush the artichokes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and any additional herbs you like.
- Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the artichokes cut-side down and grill for about 5-7 minutes until charred. Flip and grill for another 5 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from the grill, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and enjoy!
Notes
Serve with garlic aioli or lemon butter for dipping. Can be enjoyed alongside grilled meats or fresh salads.
