Ingredients

• 4 whole artichokes
• 2 whole lemon
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 tablespoons pickle relish
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by trimming the artichokes. Cut off the top one-third of the artichoke and trim the tips of each leaf to remove the sharp edges. Snip the stem down to about 1 inch.

Step 2

Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke in the center with a spoon. Immediately rub the cut sides with a halved lemon to prevent browning.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, squeeze the juice of one lemon into the water, and add a teaspoon of salt. Place the artichokes into the pot and boil for 15 minutes, or until the hearts are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 4

Drain the artichokes and pat them dry. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat while preparing the artichokes for grilling.

Step 5

Brush the cut sides of the artichokes generously with olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 6

Place the artichokes cut-side down on the hot grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the cut sides are nicely charred. Flip and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Step 7

While the artichokes are grilling, prepare the remoulade. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, pickle relish, hot sauce, paprika, and the minced garlic clove. Stir well to combine, then fold in the chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve the grilled artichokes immediately with the remoulade sauce on the side for dipping.
