Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 x lemons halved
- 6 lrg artichokes
- 2/3 c. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 c. fresh lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp. minced fresh mint
Directions
- Squeeze juice from halved lemons into large bowl filled with cool water. Cut stem off 1 artichoke, leaving about 1 inch. Snap off outer 2 rows of leaves. Cut off top 1/3 of artichoke. Quarter artichoke lengthwise. Using small knife, cut out choke and prickly small leaves. Place artichoke in lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
- Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Drain artichokes, add in to pot, and boil till crisp-tender, about 15 min. Drain. Transfer artichokes to rack and cold. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk oil, 1/3 c. lemon juice, and mint in small bowl. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Brush artichokes with dressing. Grill till tender and lightly charred in spots, turning occasionally, about 8 min. Transfer artichokes to platter. Drizzle with some of remaining dressing. Serve hot or possibly at room temperature.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Comments: If the grill is large sufficient, cook the artichokes alongside the steaks; otherwise, grill these first and serve at room temperature.
