Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large artichokes
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by preparing the artichokes. Rinse them under cold water and trim about 1 inch off the top and bottom stems.
Peel away the tough outer leaves near the base of the artichokes.
With a sharp knife, cut the artichokes in half vertically and remove the choke (the fuzzy center) using a spoon.
Rub the cut surfaces of the artichokes with half the lemon to prevent browning.
Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add a steamer basket and place the artichokes inside.
Cover and steam the artichokes for about 15 minutes until the petals are tender and can be peeled off easily.
Prepare your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, the juice of the remaining half lemon, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Brush the artichokes generously with the olive oil and lemon mixture.
Place the artichokes cut-side down on the grill and grill for about 5-7 minutes, then turn and grill for another 5-7 minutes, until they are charred and tender.
Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the grilled artichokes before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful low-carb side dish or appetizer.
