Grilled artichokes are a delicious and healthy addition to any meal. They have a unique flavor and a satisfyingly tender texture. If you’ve ever wondered how to make this delectable dish, you’ve come to the right place. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to prepare and grill artichokes that will impress even the pickiest eaters.

What You’ll Need

  • 4 medium-sized artichokes
  • 2 lemons
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Preparing the Artichokes

Start by rinsing the artichokes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, using a sharp knife, cut off about 1 inch from the top of each artichoke. Trim the stem as well, leaving about ½ inch intact. Lastly, remove any small leaves from the base of the artichokes.

Step 2: Steaming the Artichokes

Fill a large pot with water, and add the juice of one lemon. Place a steamer basket in the pot and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully place the artichokes in the steamer basket and cover the pot with a lid. Let them steam for about 25-30 minutes, or until the leaves are tender when pulled.

Step 3: Preparing the Marinade

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, juice of one lemon, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4: Applying the Marinade

Once the artichokes are steamed, let them cool slightly. Then, carefully slice each artichoke in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, gently scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center of each half. Brush the marinade onto the cut sides of the artichokes, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 5: Grilling the Artichokes

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the artichokes on the grill, cut side down. Close the lid and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the artichokes have developed a nice char. Flip them over and grill for an additional 5 minutes to cook through.

Step 6: Serving and Enjoying

Transfer the grilled artichokes to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with a pinch of salt for an extra burst of flavor. Serve them hot and enjoy as an appetizer or a fantastic side dish!

Grilled artichokes are a versatile dish that pairs well with various dipping sauces or on their own. They make an excellent addition to any barbecue or summertime gathering. Now that you know how to make grilled artichokes, it’s time to get grilling and impress your family and friends with this tasty and healthy treat!
