Grilled Artichokes: Pic

[Roxy15]

Grilled Artichokes:

2 large artichokes

1 lemon, quartered

3/4 cup olive oil

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

 

Trim the tops and ends of leaves from the artichokes, cut in half lengthwise and remove the fuzzy choke. Squeeze a bit of lemon on immediately to prevent browning. If preparing artichokes ahead of time, place them in a bowl of lemon water until ready to boil. If unsure how to properly prepare an artichoke, look at the video below. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
