How To Make grilled artichokes

• 1

  Bring large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
• 2

  Remove top quarter of artichoke (bread knife works well for this) and trim pointed tips (kitchen sheers work well here) from the remaining leaves. Finally trim the stem to approximately 1/4 inch from the base of the artichoke.
• 3

  Place trimmed chokes in the boiling water and weigh down with a small plate to keep them submerged. Boil the artichokes until almost ready to eat. Knife should slide in the bottom (stem) with only a little resistence.
• 4

  Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• 5

  Remove from water and drain upside down until cool enough to handle.
• 6

  Slice each artichoke in half lengthwise. With a spoon, remove the think pinkish leaves and the hairy choke.
• 7

  In a large bowl, add the oil, garlic salt, juice from limes and oregano and liberally rub mixture onto and into each artichoke half.
• 8

  Grill each artichoke half turning occasionally until slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Serve with clarified butter, your favorite vinaigrette or mayonnaise with a little horseradish and a couple of dashes of hot pepper sauce.
