Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh artichokes
- 2 whole Lemon
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by preparing the artichokes. With a sharp knife, cut 1 inch off the top and trim the stems to 1 inch long. Remove the tough outer leaves and snip the tips of remaining leaves to remove thorns.
Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke and small purple leaves in the center.
Fill a large pot with water and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into it to prevent browning. Bring the water to a boil.
Add the artichokes to the boiling water and cook for 10 minutes to tenderize them slightly.
While artichokes are boiling, prepare the marinade by mincing the garlic cloves and chopping the parsley.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, juice of the other lemon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to emulsify.
Drain the artichokes and pat them dry with paper towels.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush each artichoke half generously with the marinade.
Place the artichoke halves on the grill, cut side down. Cook for about 10 minutes or until you achieve nice grill marks.
Flip the artichokes over and grill for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from the grill and brush with any remaining marinade.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
