Ingredients:
- 4 large artichokes
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
To begin, clean the artichokes by removing the tough outer leaves and trimming the tops of the leaves. Cut the artichokes in half and remove the fuzzy choke with a spoon.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Brush the artichokes generously with the olive oil mixture.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the artichokes cut-side down on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until charred. Flip the artichokes over and continue to grill for an additional 5-7 minutes.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and mix in the lemon juice. Serve the grilled artichokes with the lemon butter sauce on the side.
Tips:
