Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole fresh artichokes
- 1 whole lemon
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 liter water
- 1 whole bay leaf
Instructions
Begin by preparing the artichokes. Trim the stems and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut about 1 inch off the top of the artichoke.
Slice the artichokes in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove the fuzzy choke from each half.
In a large pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil and add a bay leaf.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the boiling water and add the squeezed lemon halves.
Carefully place the artichoke halves into the pot. Cover and boil for about 15 minutes until they start to become tender. Then, remove them from the water and let them cool.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush the cut side of each artichoke half with the olive oil mixture.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, place the artichokes cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, until charred and fully tender.
Remove from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
