Grilled Artichoke Recipe

Grilled Artichoke Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Artichokes

   Cut the top off the artichokes and trim the stems. Remove any small leaves at the base. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.

2. 2

   Pre-cook the Artichokes

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the artichoke halves and cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and allow to 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 pepper. Place the artichokes cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until you see grill marks and they are heated through.

4. 4

   Prepare the Aioli

   In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped capers, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the grilled artichokes warm with a side of lemon caper aioli for dipping.
