Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large fresh artichokes
- 1 lemon
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Start by trimming the artichoke stems to 1 inch and peeling off the tough outer leaves.
Slice the top inch off each artichoke, and use kitchen shears to snip off the thorny leaf tips.
Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.
Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and squeeze the juice of a lemon into it, adding the lemon halves as well.
Bring the water to a simmer, then add the artichoke halves and cover the pot.
Simmer the artichokes for about 10 minutes, until just tender.
While the artichokes are steaming, prepare the marinade by mashing the garlic cloves and mixing them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the artichokes from the pot and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Brush the artichokes generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring to get into all the nooks and crannies.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the artichokes cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until grill marks appear, then flip and grill for an additional 5 minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the artichokes during the last minute of grilling for a cheesy finish.
Remove from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the grilled artichokes warm as an entrée or a side dish. Enjoy your ketogenic meal!
