I always loved when restaurants had grilled artichokes on the menu,
I could just about taste them even before they arrived at the table.
I now can enjoy them anytime….Here is how I Grill Artichokes accompanied by a fabulous sauce.
Now that I know how to grill them myself, I can have them anytime I’d like.
They are not so intimidating anymore!
I rinse the artichokes off and then cut off the stem,
cut off the top of the artichoke about 1 1/2 inches down,
then trip the ends (they tend to be sharp and can poke at you)
I cut those off with scissors.
Next I cut them in half.
Pull out the choke (the purple leaves that area poky and the fuzzy stuff too)
Place them in a steamer and squeeze lemon juice over them so they don’t brown, the quicker you can get the lemon on them the better.
Steam them for about 8 minutes, until tender.
I place them on the hot grill or a heated grill pan,
usually takes 5-10 minutes to get a nice charring on them.
Artichoke Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup mayo
1T lemon juice
1T mustard
1 clove garlic minced
two shakes Worcestershire sauce
6 drops Tabasco sauce
plenty of ground black pepper
Perfect combination!

Thanks!
I am going to have to try this technique. I've always boiled them and it's impossible for them to cook evenly that way because they keep bobbing up and out of the water. This looks SO good. Pretty much anything tastes good grilled:-)
You must have read my mind! I bought artichokes yesterday and boiled them (BORING!) as they were boiling I was thinking "I wonder how they grill these things" … Thanks SO MUCH! Perfect timing!
This is definitely a must try! Bet they are really delicious!
YUM!!! I'll have to try this some time!! –
I'll be the guest judge this week for "On the Grill" over at Our Homeschool Home – you should link up on Thursday!! http://www.ourhomeschoolhome.com/
I LOVE artichokes, but have never grilled them. The sauce sounds super!
I am going to hang my head in shame.. I have never had an artichoke. How can I be a foodie if I have never had an artichoke?????
What did you cut these with? I love this idea but I tried to cut of the tops of mine and I couldn't get my knife to cut through them….
My son loves artichokes!
Yum! Thanks for sharing this – I love artichokes and always steam them. But love to have them grilled @ restaurants. Now I'll try it myself!
HAVE YOU HAD LUCILLE'S GRILLED ARTICHOKES?! To die for. I order it every time. I've tried to replicate their sauce, but no success yet. If anyone can do it YOU can!
Diane, did you have any problem linking up at On The Grill? All these people keep saying they can't link up, and I'm linking their posts for them with no problems???? I can't figure out why so many are having a problem and I'm not?
Thanks for linking up!!
These look terrific… I am always looking for artichoke recipes because we get so many in the garden. The sauce sounds delicious!
What a nice sounding appetizer! I am so glad to be in great company for this contest
