- 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.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Trim the stem from each artichoke to 1-inch long, then bend back and snap off dark outer leaves. Cut top inch of artichokes with serrated knife. Using a vegetable peeler, peel dark green areas from stem and base of artichoke. Quarter each artichoke. Using a small, sharp knife, cut out the choke and remove the purple, prickly tipped leaves from the center of each wedge.
- Place finished artichokes in a large bowl of cold water and squeeze 2 lemons into the water and stir. Continue with remaining artichokes.
- Once finished, drain the artichokes and place into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 12 minutes.
- Drain the cooked artichokes and place onto preheated grill. Cook until tender and lightly charred in spots, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, add remaining lemon juice (1/3 cup) parsley, garlic and salt and pepper, to taste. Gradually drizzle in olive oil.
- Toss or drizzle the grill artichokes with the garlic/parsley mixture and serve.
GRILLED ARTICHOKES WITH WHOLE GARLIC BULBS
Steps:
- Remove papery skin from garlic heads. Slice off top quarter of each head to expose the clove ends, leaving heads whole.
- Cut lemon in half and squeeze juice into a large bowl filled with water.
- Cut off the end of stem and top quarter of each artichoke. With scissors, cut off prickly points on the ends of leaves. Quarter artichokes, remove the choke and immediately immerse artichokes in lemon water to keep them from turning brown. Put a plate on top of artichokes to keep them from bobbing to the surface.
- Cut six sheets of heavy-duty foil about 12 inches square. In each one place a garlic bulb and four artichoke quarters, which have been lifted directly from the water without being drained.
- Put a tablespoon of butter onto each artichoke, sprinkle with oil and top with a sprig of fresh thyme or 1/3 teaspoon dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. As if wrapping a gift, pull two sides of the foil together so that they overlap, then roll up the ends of the other two sides so that juices are sealed in.
- Put foil packets on grill over hot coals and cook for about 40 minutes, turning several times. Serve directly from foil.

GRILLED ARTICHOKES
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.

GRILLED ARTICHOKE, GREEN GARLIC, AND GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA
Green garlic bulbs look like scallions-they're available at many farmers' markets in the spring. If you can't find them to make this Italian appetizer, substitute the peeled cloves from a head of regular garlic and the green top of a scallion.

Steps:
- Combine oil, garlic bulbs, and rosemary in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium. Reduce heat to low; simmer until garlic is golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool.
- Squeeze 2 lemon halves into a large bowl of water; add rinds. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, remove tough outer leaves closest to stem end, then trim pointy tips of remaining outer leaves with kitchen shears. With a serrated knife, cut off top 1 inch; with a paring knife, trim and peel stem. (Transfer to lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration.)
- Set a steamer basket in a large pot; add enough water to reach just below basket and bring to a boil. Squeeze remaining 2 lemon halves into pot. Add artichokes, season with salt, and cover. Steam until hearts are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let stand until cool enough to handle, then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out and discard fuzzy chokes.
- Strain infused oil; discard rosemary. Mash garlic bulbs into a paste and stir into goat cheese with 1/4 cup infused oil, green garlic tops, and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt.
- Heat grill to high. Brush artichokes with infused oil; season with salt. Grill, brushing with more oil and turning a few times, until charred in places, 8 to 10 minutes. Grill bread, turning once, until charred in places, 1 to 2 minutes. Lightly brush bread with infused oil.
- Remove artichoke leaves from bottoms; cut bottoms into slices and reserve leaves for eating separately. Slather grilled bread with goat-cheese mixture and top with sliced artichokes. Drizzle with more infused oil, sprinkle with more red-pepper flakes and green garlic tops, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose large artichokes with tightly closed leaves. This ensures that the artichokes are fresh and have a compact, meaty interior.
- Trim the artichokes properly. Cut off the top third of the artichoke, including the sharp thorns. Then, use a sharp knife to trim the stem flush with the bottom of the artichoke.
- Soak the artichokes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove any bitterness from the artichokes and makes them more tender.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to infuse the artichokes with flavor. Some good options include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Cook the artichokes over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the artichokes and cook them evenly throughout.
- Serve the artichokes with a dipping sauce. Some good options include melted butter, garlic butter, or hollandaise sauce.
Conclusion:
Grilled artichokes are a delicious and healthy side dish or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their smoky flavor and tender texture, grilled artichokes are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
