Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole fresh artichokes
- 2 whole lemon
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and squeeze the juice of one lemon into it. Set aside.
Prepare the artichokes by cutting off the top quarter and trimming the stems. Remove any tough outer leaves and snip the tips of the remaining leaves with kitchen scissors.
Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.
Place the artichokes in the lemon-infused water to prevent browning while you prepare all of them.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and juice from the second lemon.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and parboil the artichokes for about 10 minutes until they are just tender.
Remove the artichokes from the water, pat them dry with a towel, and brush them generously with the garlic lemon mixture.
Grill the artichokes cut-side down first for about 8-10 minutes, until you see nice grill marks. Flip and grill for another 5 minutes.
Remove from the grill and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
