Wine Grilled Artichoke - Recipe

Fresh artichoke marinated in white wine and herbs, grilled and served with aioli dip

Ingredients:-
For Artichokes

* 4 large artichokes
* 2 lemons, halved

For Artichoke Basting Sauce

* 4 tablespoons butter
* 4 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 tablespoons white wine
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* kosher salt (or Garlic Salt is good, too!)
* fresh ground black pepper

Directions:-

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.

Break the artichokes' small outside leaves. Cut the top with a knife and trim the sharp points of the leaves with scissors, rubbing with cut lemon as you go to avoid discoloration. Squeeze the lemon halves into a bowl of cold water, soak the artichokes for 10 minutes, then wash with cold water to remove sand.

Put artichokes in a large steamer insert over simmering water and steam until heart is tender, about 25 to 35 minutes depending upon quantity. Allow to cool. Cut in half lengthwise and remove choke with a spoon. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Stir in the white wine and lemon juice, keep it warm.

Grill the artichokes, basting with the butter mixture, until golden on the surface and heated through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the Spicy Smoked Tomato Mayonnaise. In my next post i'll provide you recipe to cook Spicy Smoked Tomato Mayinnaise.
