Spring marks the presence of fresh vegetables. You know, the kind that didn’t grow in the ground. Artichokes, asparagus, spinach and ramps all start to make their appearance. And while Ole thinks it’s cool to grill in the middle of winter, outside with several feet of snow and a temp well below zero, I’m guessing that this is one of those things that make him stand out from the crowd. So, spring also marks the beginning of the grilling season (for the rest of the world, at least). My favorite way to eat all these spring vegetables is to toss them on the grill.
Start by squeezing a lemon into a bowl of water to house your halved artichokes. They brown quickly, so it’s best to have this ready before you cut into them.
Soak the artichokes in the lemon-infused water while you prepare to boil them.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. By large, I mean large enough to hold however many artichokes you’re planning on grilling.
Add the artichokes, turn down the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the artichokes from the water and drain…
…placing them in a bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, a bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Place the artichokes directly on a hot grill.
Use any leftover oil from the bowl to baste the artichokes while you’re grilling.
Continue to grill for 5 minutes a side until artichokes start to show grill marks and char, about 15-20 minutes total.
While the artichokes are grilling, mix up an easy aioli using mayonnaise, the remaining half of lemon, garlic, a bit of onion or shallot and salt and pepper.
And serve your artichoke with the aioli to dip in. You can peel the petals off prior to serving as I did here for the kids, or you can serve whole and peel towards the tender heart of the artichoke as you eat, which is how I prefer to do it. Note: Ole was surprised how popular these were with the kids. They were all excited, ate a half an artichoke each and were begging for more.
In fact, they were such a hit that we even decided they should make an appearance at our neighbors’ barbecue get-together this past weekend. We prepped them at home up until the grilling stage and just showed up with a bowl with a bowl full of seasoned artichokes ready to hit the grill.
3 whole artichokes
1 1/2 lemons
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
cracked black pepper
Fill a large bowl with water. Squeeze the juice from one lemon into the bowl, saving the rind. Halve artichokes and immediately submerge in the water. Bring a 5-quart pot of water to a boil and add in the squeezed lemon rinds. Transfer the artichokes to the boiling water. Boil for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Heat grill on high. Empty the lemon water from the bowl. Add in juice from half a lemon, olive oil, crushed/minced garlic cloves, salt and pepper. When the artichokes are done boiling, drain them and toss them around in the bowl.
Turn the grill down to a medium heat. Add artichokes to the grill. Baste the artichokes with the remaining oil mixture in the bowl. Turn every five minutes until artichokes start to char. Remove from heat. Service with aioli dipping sauce.
For the easy aioli:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lemon
1 scallion, diced (or 1/2 shallot)
1/2 teaspoon salt
cracked black pepper
Mix together all ingredients in a small bowl. Serve with grilled artichokes.
Makes 6 servings.
Wow, those artichokes look beautiful! I can’t wait to try this on the grill. My husband and I love grilling asparagus, and I think we’re ready to move onto another veggie. Thanks for the recipe.

We had the pleasure of taste-testing these and after a quick lesson in artichoke etiquette, I found them mighty tasty! I usually steer clear of such valuable leafy greens so you should be proud of me; I quite enjoyed them!
Prefect timing. We received artichokes in our CSA delivery this week. Can’t wait to try.

Those artichokes are beautiful! And I love dipping artichokes in aioli like you have here. I’ve actually never grilled them, and actually never even thought of doing that until now. Awesome idea!

i made these tonight. this was so good and the sauce was great!
I am so happy you have this on your site because I have been fiddling with grilled artichokes for a week now and still no luck. First I ripped out all the leaves and tried to grill just the hearts, today I am grilling the canned hearts to try to get the flavor I want, and hopefully no brown fingers for a week… Now I know… I need to boil them first… I’m a dum dum… or polish… meaning not italian 😉
You know I always wondered if I was allergic to artichokes but after reading this recipe….I don’t care! Plan on trying it for guests this weekend. I love the aioli served inside the artichoke ramekin.
Amazing dish! I cooked four small artichokes and they were divine! Loved the aioli. Served w/rack of lamb and prosciutto. Will be making these again!!

offer, my recommendation is usually to make reference to these pages.
In non technical term covering options, heads they win,
tails they win. However, before getting all pumped up about the
limits in betting being reduced, remember why it was done inside the first place and re-evaluate the chances of the game with one teams using injured players.
