Ingredients
- 4 whole fresh artichokes
- 2 whole lemon
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with water and squeeze the juice of one lemon into it. Set aside.
Step 2
Prepare the artichokes by cutting off the top quarter and trimming the stems. Remove any tough outer leaves and snip the tips of the remaining leaves with kitchen scissors.
Step 3
Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.
Step 4
Place the artichokes in the lemon-infused water to prevent browning while you prepare all of them.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and juice from the second lemon.
Step 7
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and parboil the artichokes for about 10 minutes until they are just tender.
Step 8
Remove the artichokes from the water, pat them dry with a towel, and brush them generously with the garlic lemon mixture.
Step 9
Grill the artichokes cut-side down first for about 8-10 minutes, until you see nice grill marks. Flip and grill for another 5 minutes.
Step 10
Remove from the grill and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
