Artichokes

Method

Preparation of Artichokes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Artichokes

    Begin by trimming the stems of the artichokes so they can stand upright. Remove the outer leaves until you reach the tender inner leaves. Cut the top off the artichokes to remove the thorny tips.

  2. 2

    Steam the Artichokes

    Fill a large pot with water and place a steaming basket inside. Bring the water to a boil and place the prepared artichokes in the steaming basket. Cover and steam for about 25-30 minutes until they are tender.

Grilling the Artichokes

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    While the artichokes are steaming, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Marinate the Artichokes

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Once the artichokes are steamed, cut them in half lengthwise and brush them with the marinade.

  3. 5

    Grill the Artichokes

    Place the marinated artichoke halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until they have nice grill marks. Flip them over and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Topping

    In a serving bowl, toss the arugula with a bit of olive oil, salt, and the lemon zest.

  2. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled artichokes topped with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and the arugula mixture. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
