Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large artichokes
- 2 cups Dry white wine
- 4 cups Water
- 1 Lemon
- 6 Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Begin by preparing the artichokes. Cut off the top inch of each artichoke to remove the sharp tips, then use kitchen shears to snip off the tips of the remaining leaves.
Using a sharp knife, cut each artichoke in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke and any small inner leaves at the center.
Fill a large bowl with water and squeeze the juice of the lemon into it. Place the artichoke halves into the lemon-water mixture to prevent browning while you prepare the marinade.
In a large pot, combine the white wine, water, smashed garlic cloves, olive oil, rosemary sprigs, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Drain the artichokes and add them to the pot. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are just tender when pierced with a knife.
Remove the artichokes from the pot and let them cool slightly. Brush the cut sides with additional olive oil if desired.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the artichoke halves cut-side down on the grill grates.
Grill the artichokes for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred and warmed through.
Remove from the grill and serve hot, optionally with a dipping sauce like lemon aioli or garlic butter for extra flavor.
