Grilled Artichokes
If you’ve never eaten fresh artichokes, here’s an easy
recipe AND...How to eat them, if you haven’t ever eaten a whole one!
I like buying 2 Fresh Artichokes per person. They serve as a fantastic appetizer.
Preparing the Artichokes:
Cut the stem off at the bottom of the artichoke, then take
off the first couple of leaves. Slice
the artichoke in half (length wise).
This is the hardest part of the cleaning – with a spoon,
scrape out the
purple leafs and fibrous tissue (the choke) in the bottom/middle of the artichoke. Rinse with cold water and clean the remaining
artichokes.
Place them in a pot of boiling water, salted water for about
20-25 minutes. You’ll know when they are
done when the leaf will pull off, taste the bottom, it should be soft.
Remove and pat dry.
Place the artichokes, leaf side down, so that the meat part is
showing. Season with pepper, chili
powder, garlic granules, and salt.
Pre-heat (medium-high heat) a cast iron pan and place some
coconut oil in the pan. Place the artichokes,
meat side down in the pan. Grill until
browned, remove and let cool.
If it’s grilling season…these go great on a grill outside!
I like to make a dipping sauce. Get my recipe for Vegan Mayonnaise on my
blog. Mix some chili powder, worchestire
sauce, Pepper and hot sauce with some of the mayo….YUM!
