Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 cloves of garlic grated or finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt + pepper

Lemon Garlic Aioli

Artichokes

  • 4 medium artichokes leaf tips trimmed, top 1" cut off, and sliced in half
  • 1 lemon

Instructions

Lemon Garlic Basting Oil

Lemon Garlic Aioli

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, stir to combine. Set aside.

Artichokes

  • Heat your grill over high heat and clean the grill grates.
  • Bring a large pot filled 2/3 full with water to a boil over high heat. Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon into the boiling water.
  • Immediately after cutting the artichokes, add them to the boiling water to prevent them from turning brown.
  • Boil for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the artichokes from the water, and use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the artichokes fuzzy center.
  • Baste the cut side of the artichokes with the lemon garlic basting oil. Place the artichokes cut side DOWN on the grill, then baste the backs of the artichokes.
  • Grill for another 15-20 minutes, or until the artichoke leaves start to get charred marks on the tips.
  • Serve warm with the lemon garlic aioli.

Notes

-You can prep these ahead by doing steps 1-5, then refrigerate the boiled artichoke halves. When it's time to eat, proceed with steps 6-8. You can refrigerate them for up to 2 days ahead of time.
