Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 large artichokes
1 lemon, quartered
¾ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Fill a large bowl with cold water. Squeeze the juice from one lemon wedge into the water. Trim the tops from the artichokes, then cut in half lengthwise, and place halves into the bowl of lemon water to prevent them from turning brown.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
Add artichokes to boiling water, and cook for about 15 minutes. Drain. Squeeze the remaining lemon wedges into a medium bowl. Stir in the olive oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
Brush the artichokes with a coating of the garlic dip, and place them on the preheated grill. Grill the artichokes for 5 to 10 minutes, basting with dip and turning frequently, until the tips are a little charred. Serve immediately with the remaining dip.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

4 large artichokes
1 lemon, halved
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Spicy Smoked Tomato Mayonnaise, recipe follows
2 tomatoes, halved
2 pasilla peppers, halved
1/4 cup garlic cloves
1/2 pound onions, large, sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups mayonnaise

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
Break off the artichokes' small outside leaves. Cut off the top with a knife and trim the sharp points of the leaves with scissors, rubbing with cut lemon as you go to avoid discoloration. Squeeze the lemon halves into a bowl of cold water, soak the artichokes for 10 minutes, then wash with cold water to remove sand.
Place artichokes in a large steamer insert over simmering water and steam until heart is tender, about 25 to 35 minutes depending upon size. Allow to cool. Cut in half lengthwise and remove choke with a spoon.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Stir in the white wine and lemon juice, keep warm.
Grill the artichokes, basting with the butter mixture, until until golden on the surface and heated through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the Spicy Smoked Tomato Mayonnaise.
Special equipment: smoker/dehydrator
Chef's Note: If you do not have access to a smoker/dehydrator, you can substitute 4 sun-dried tomatoes and 2 teaspoons ancho or pasilla powder for the tomatoes and pasillas, eliminating the tomatoes and pasilla peppers from the recipe.
Dry the tomatoes and pasilla peppers in an oak smoker/dehydrator overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill, preferably wood fired with oak wood, for indirect heat cooking.
Wrap garlic and onions loosely in 2 separate foil packets and roast/grill over indirect heat until they are soft, being careful not to burn them. The garlic should take about 1 to 1 1/2 hours; the onions should take about 30 to 45 minutes.
In a food processor, puree the smoked pasilla peppers and tomatoes with the garlic and onions. Add the cayenne, chili powder, paprika and salt. Mix in the mayonnaise. Leftover mayonnaise will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 or 4 days.

Ingredients

For Steaming:
3 to 4 large fresh artichokes
2 to 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, from 1 lemon
1 bay leaf
2 to 3 (3-inch) sprigs fresh thyme
5 to 6 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
For Grilling:
2 to 3 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon paprika, optional
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Gather the ingredients. Clean the grill grates. Prepare a medium (350°F to 375°F) gas or charcoal grill fire, or heat until you can hold a hand over the heat for 4 seconds.
Pat the artichokes dry. Place the steamed artichoke halves cut side up onto a tray. Brush with the garlic olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika, if using.
Place the artichokes cut side down onto the hot grill. Cover and grill for 8 to 10 minutes, or until there are grill marks on the stems.
Let cool slightly before serving, sprinkling them with extra salt and lemon juice, if desired.

Tips:

Choose Fresh Artichokes: Select artichokes that are heavy for their size, tightly closed, and have green, unblemished leaves. Avoid artichokes with brown spots or open leaves.
Prepare Artichokes Properly: Trim the stem and remove the tough outer leaves of the artichoke, leaving only the tender inner leaves. Cut off the top quarter of the artichoke to expose the choke. Scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.
Marinate Artichokes: Marinate the artichokes in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices to enhance their flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple vinaigrette or a more complex marinade with garlic, lemon, and paprika.
Grill or Roast Artichokes: Artichokes can be grilled or roasted, depending on your preference. When grilling, cook the artichokes over medium heat until they are tender and slightly charred. When roasting, cook the artichokes in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until they are tender.
Serve Artichokes with Dipping Sauce: Serve the artichokes with a dipping sauce, such as a mayonnaise-based sauce, aioli, or tzatziki. You can also serve them with melted butter or olive oil.
