Grilled Artichokes

The first time I had Grilled Artichokes was at a lovely establishment in Denver, CO. They were so amazing, I immediately started to figure out how to duplicate them. I think I’ve gotten pretty darn close… at any rate they are yummy!

My first attempt at making Grilled Artichokes, I tried to grill them ONLY… wasn’t a success! They were rock hard in the middle and burned on the face! Next, I tried to boil them and then take them to the grill, not much luck there either, they were too mushy. So, I figured out this recipe that works!

2 Artichokes
1 fresh lemon
2 tsp Olive Oil (1/2 tsp per half)
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Onion Salt
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
1/8 tsp Pepper
1/4 C water

Prep:
Wash. Pull off small bottom leaves. Cut off stems. Cut off top 1/4 of artichoke. Snip tips off the remaining petals.
Cut the artichokes in half, remove the fuzzy choke and small leaves with a spoon.
Place in a microwavable dish face up. Squeeze the lemon juice over artichokes, Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with remaining ingredients. Add 1/4 C water, Cover tightly with saran, Microwave for 8 min or till semi-softened.
Grill face down on med high for 10 minutes or till a petal near the center pulls out easily.

Garlic Dip

1 C plain yogurt
1 Tbls chopped parsley
1 Tbls chopped chives
2 tsp chili sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 tsp pepper

Combine ingredients and blend well. Refrigerate until ready to serve with grilled artichokes.

If you are dip lover then this is a good one! We usually each them right off the grill but this dip is yummy.
