Ingredients

• 4 pieces large artichokes
• 1 whole lemon
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 2

Prepare artichokes by trimming the stems to about 1 inch and cutting off the top inch of each artichoke to remove the sharp tips of the petals.

Step 3

Rub the cut ends of the artichokes with a halved lemon to prevent browning.

Step 4

Once the water is boiling, gently add the artichokes and cover the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the leaves can be easily pulled off.

Step 5

Drain the artichokes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut each artichoke in half lengthwise.

Step 6

Use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke in the center, being careful not to remove any of the tender artichoke heart.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 9

Brush the cut sides of the artichokes with the olive oil mixture.

Step 10

Place the artichokes on the grill, cut side down, and grill for 5-7 minutes until you see grill marks and the artichokes are heated through.

Step 11

Turn the artichokes over and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the artichokes from the grill and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
