Grilled Artichokes Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Artichokes

   Trim the stems of the artichokes and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.

2. 2

   Boil the Artichokes

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the artichokes and boil for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let cool.

3. 3

   Grill the Artichokes

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the cut sides of the artichokes with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place them cut-side down on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes until grill marks appear.

4. 4

   Prepare Lemon and Cheese

   While the artichokes are grilling, cut the lemons in half and grate the parmigiano-reggiano cheese.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the artichokes from the grill and squeeze fresh lemon juice over them. Sprinkle with grated parmigiano-reggiano and top with fresh arugula. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
