GRILLED ARTICHOKES

with Garlic-Lemon Aioli


Active Time : 45 minutes
Total Time : 45 minutes
Serves : 6 servings

INGREDIENTS
  • 6 large fresh artichokes rinsed well
  • 1 whole lemon
  • 1/2 cup real mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons 100% pure olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

DIRECTIONS

In large stockpot, bring 8 cups water to a boil. Cut ½ inch of the top off artichokes and cut stem flush with bottom. Trim tips of leaves with scissors to remove thorns.

Cut lemon in half; squeeze into boiling water and add rinds to water. Carefully place artichokes in water; cover. Gently boil 20 minutes or until tender. Remove artichokes from water and drain well. Let cool.

In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil, lemon zest and garlic; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prepare grill to medium heat. When artichokes are cooled, cut in half; using a spoon, scrape out the fuzzy heart and discard. Lightly brush both sides of artichoke with remaining oil; salt and pepper to taste.

Place artichokes on grill; grill, turning occasionally, until lightly browned (about 1-2 minutes per side).

Serve grilled artichokes with garlic-lemon aioli.
