Steps:
- For the grilled artichokes: In a medium Dutch oven, combine the white wine, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon halves and then drop the lemon halves into the pot. With a small spoon, scoop out the furry choke from each of the artichoke halves.
- Place the artichokes in the pot, cut-side down. Cover the pot and bring the poaching liquid to a simmer over medium-high heat; reduce the heat to medium low to maintain a gentle simmer. Poach the artichokes for 10 minutes, or until the tip of a paring knife slides in easily at the thickest point. Remove the artichokes to a wire rack to drain and cool slightly.
- For the bagna cauda: Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, garlic and anchovy paste to the hot pan and stir with a wooden spoon, mashing the anchovy paste into the oil. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to toast. Stir in the butter, one piece at a time, until completely incorporated. Season with a pinch of salt. Keep warm over low heat.
- To finish the grilled artichokes: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the artichokes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Place the artichokes on the grill, cut-side down; grill until nicely browned, 4 minutes. Turn the artichokes and grill for another 2 minutes, pressing down gently for even browning.
- Serve the artichokes with the bagna cauda on the side for dipping.

Steps:
- Dissolve 2 tablespoons kosher salt in a large bowl of water. Add the radicchio and soak, 45 minutes, using a plate to keep it submerged. Drain the radicchio, shake off any excess water and pat dry.
- Meanwhile, puree the garlic, anchovies and olive oil in a mini food processor. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and cook over low heat until golden and bubbly, about 5 minutes; set aside until cool.
- Return the garlic-anchovy mixture to the mini food processor. Add the butter, cream, truffle oil, parsley and lemon zest and blend until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat the broiler. Brush a 9-by-13-inch flame-proof baking dish with about 1 teaspoon of the sauce. Brush 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sauce between the leaves of each piece of radicchio and arrange in the prepared baking dish. Top each piece with 2 more teaspoons sauce and broil until the radicchio is crisp and browned and the sauce is bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle with olive oil.
BAGNA CAUDA
Ever since a family friend introduced us to this Italian dip, we have made it a tradition on New Year's Eve. You have to really like garlic to enjoy this. I have heard that some people omit the cream and substitute olive oil also. Serve with crusty Italian bread, raw cabbage wedges, lettuce, bread sticks or crackers.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper; set aside.
- In medium bowl, mix bread crumbs, cheese and 1 tablespoon melted butter; set aside.
- In large bowl, mix artichokes and egg. Shake excess egg from artichoke hearts; coat each artichoke heart in bread crumb mixture, pressing mixture lightly to adhere, and place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Discard leftover egg. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, place cream and garlic cloves; heat just to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 13 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching or boiling over, or until cream has thickened and reduced by half (about 1 cup). Remove from heat; cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add anchovies and pepper flakes; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until anchovies fall apart. Cool 5 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, add cream mixture and butter mixture to blender. Cover; blend 20 to 30 seconds or until very smooth.
- In 2-quart saucepan, heat sauce just to a low simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly; do not boil. Pour into fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl, and keep warm over low heat. Bagna cauda sauce, like fondue, must be served over heat to maintain its smooth, creamy texture. Stir in lemon peel. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve with artichoke hearts. If sauce separates, stir until smooth.

Steps:
- Combine garlic and oil in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, shaking pan occasionally, until garlic is golden and very tender, 15-20 minutes. (Reduce heat if garlic is browning too quickly.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a cutting board and mash to a paste.
- Add anchovies and walnuts to garlic oil and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until anchovies disintegrate and walnuts are golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in garlic paste, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer bagna cauda to a shallow dish.
- Squeeze 3 lemon halves into a bowl of cold water. Working one at a time, remove several layers of tough outer leaves from artichokes to reveal tender light-green leaves. Trim stem and peel with a vegetable peeler. Cut off top third from artichokes, then halve lengthwise and transfer to lemon water.
- Cook artichokes in a large pot of boiling salted water until a knife slides easily through outer leaves, 5-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water and let sit until cold, about 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
- Meanwhile, return water in pot to a boil and cook eggs 8 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to a fresh bowl of ice water; let sit until cold, about 5 minutes. Drain, peel, then cut in half.
- Arrange eggs and all vegetables on a platter. Season with salt and pepper and squeeze remaining lemon half over. Serve with bagna cauda for dipping.
Tips for Making Artichokes with Bagna Cauda:
- Choose the right artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size, with tightly closed leaves and no blemishes.
- Prepare the artichokes properly: Trim the stems and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke.
- Cook the artichokes until tender: You can steam, boil, or roast the artichokes. Steaming is the gentlest method and will preserve the artichokes' delicate flavor.
- Make a flavorful bagna cauda: The key to a good bagna cauda is to use high-quality ingredients. Use fresh garlic and anchovies, and a good olive oil.
- Serve the artichokes with the bagna cauda: Drizzle the bagna cauda over the artichokes and serve immediately. You can also serve the bagna cauda as a dipping sauce for other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and radishes.
Conclusion:
Artichokes with bagna cauda is a classic Italian dish that is both delicious and elegant. With its creamy, garlicky sauce and tender artichokes, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
