Grilled Artichokes


4th of July dinner. The steaks were monsters. The leftovers are turning into tacos.

My now favorite way to eat an artichoke. So much flavor off the grill. I poached these first in Lemon and garlic for about 20 minutes. Then marinated them in really good olive oil, lemon and spices overnight. They hit the grill at med-high for another 20 minutes. I made a little lemon mayo that I spiked with Cayenne and put that in the center of the choke. Made a good dipping well. If you've never grilled them do. So magically delicious!

or click on my fav reads "cooking for engineers". It's where I learned. But making chokes often I did not trust this guys cooking time. The difference: I boiled mine for 20, marinated and then grilled for 15-20 min. They were perfectly tender. Grilling a choke for just 15 min seems to me they'd end up tough.

Ok go to it! Post pics ;)
