Categories     Side Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 artichokes
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
zest and juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Make the artichoke dipping sauce. Make the lemon garlic aioli by combining all ingredients in a bowl and mixing well to combine. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Prep the artichokes. Trim the top inch off of your artichokes with a sharp knife. Cut each artichoke in half, then use a large metal spoon to scoop out the center choke (the fuzzy hair attached to the heart).
  • Steam the artichokes. Preheat a large pan of water with a steam basket attached to it and bring the water to a boil. Place the artichokes in the steam basket over the boiling water. Cover the pan with a lid, and steam the artichokes for 8-10 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill. As your artichokes are steaming, preheat your grill to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (high heat).
  • Season the artichokes, and prep for the grill. After the artichokes are done steaming, remove them to a cutting board or baking sheet. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the artichokes. Place the artichokes cut side down directly on the grill and grill for 4-5 minutes. Flip them over and grill them on the back side for an additional 4-5 minutes for a total cook time of 8-10 minutes.
  • Serve hot. Remove the artichokes from the grill. Remove the lemon garlic ailoi from the refrigerator and serve immediately with the sauce and garnish with a lemon cut into wedges.

GRILLED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON AIOLI DIPPING SAUCE



Grilled Artichokes With Lemon Aioli Dipping Sauce image

Artichokes are trimmed and steamed ahead of time and then grilled to smoky tender perfection and served with scrumptious creamy lemon dipping sauce. This is a fantastic summer appetizer recipe that everyone loves!

Provided by Lisa

Categories     Appetizer or side dish

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

3-4 large globe artichokes
2 lemons, cut in half crosswise
Olive oil for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise (I like Hellmans best)
1/3 cup low fat greek yogurt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons of slivered basil or mint (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk all of the aioli ingredients except herbs. Store in the fridge, covered for up to 24 hours. Sprinkle freshly-cut herbs on top right before serving.
  • Fill a large (8-quarts or more) pot with water, 2/3 of the way up, and bring to a boil.
  • Trim one artichoke at a time, making sure to rub all of the freshly cut parts with a halved lemon as you go, to prevent discoloration. First cut off the very tip of the stem. Next, carefully slice off or shave (with a vegetable peeler) the tough outer skin of the stem. Using your scissors and starting at the bottom of the artichoke, snip off the thorny tip of each leaf (about 1/2 inch) until you get to the top of the artichoke, where the leaves are too crowded to separate.
  • Lay the artichoke on its side and slice it in half, starting from the stem. Don't forget to keep wiping the cut parts with lemon. Lay each half cut-side down and slice off 3/4 of an inch from the top, to remove the last bunch of thorny tips. Lemon, lemon.
  • Carefully drop the artichoke halves into the boiling water. When it returns to a boil, cover the pot and cook the artichokes for 20 minutes. Don't worry if they aren't all completely submerged. Those parts will cook in the steam. Using tongs, gently transfer the artichoke halves, cut side down, to a bowl (letting the water drip off of them) and let them cool for 15-20 minutes. When they're cool enough to handle, use a teaspoon to carefully scoop out the chokes (the hairy part near the heart). They artichokes are now ready for grilling or you can refrigerate them, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 48 hours before grilling them.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high. (If you chill the artichokes overnight, allow them to sit at room temperature for 1/2 hour before proceeding.) Brush artichokes generously on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill artichokes for about 5 minutes per side, outside first, until the cut side has grill marks and is nicely browned in spots.
  • Serve the artichokes warm or at room temperature. I like to set the artichoke halves out on a big platter and let everyone help themselves. Make sure each person has a small plate, a fork and knife to eat the heart, and a small bowl of aioli for dipping. I usually put out one or two large communal bowls for the discarded leaves.

Artichokes and aioli sauce recipes are popular dishes that have their roots deep in Mediterranean cuisine. Artichokes are a vegetable with a large flower head, and aioli sauce is a Mediterranean sauce that is made with garlic, olive oil, egg yolks, and lemon juice. The combination of artichokes and aioli sauce has become a classic dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world.

The History of Artichokes and Aioli Sauce Recipes

Artichokes are believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region, and have been a popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine for centuries. The ancient Greeks and Romans considered artichokes to be a delicacy and a symbol of wealth and status. They were grown in abundance in Italy, Spain, and France. Aioli sauce, on the other hand, has a more obscure history. It is believed to have originated in Provence, France, but it is difficult to trace its exact origins. Some sources claim that aioli was used by Roman soldiers as a condiment, while others suggest that the sauce was created by medieval monks. Regardless of its origins, aioli sauce has become a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, and is used in a variety of dishes, including artichokes.

Health Benefits of Artichokes and Aioli Sauce

Artichokes are a nutrient-dense vegetable that is packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are low in calories and fat, making them a great addition to any diet. Artichokes are also rich in antioxidants, which can help protect the body from oxidative damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. Aioli sauce, when made with healthy ingredients like olive oil and garlic, can also provide health benefits. Olive oil is a healthy fat that is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which have been linked to improved heart health. Garlic has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and may help boost the immune system.

Artichokes and Aioli Sauce Recipe Variations

There are many variations of artichokes and aioli sauce recipes, each with their own unique flavor and texture. Some recipes call for boiled or steamed artichokes, while others roast or grill them. Similarly, some aioli sauce recipes may contain additional ingredients like mustard, herbs, or roasted red peppers. One popular variation of artichokes and aioli sauce is the Spanish tapas dish, patatas bravas. This dish is made with fried potatoes that are served with a spicy tomato sauce and garlic aioli. Another variation is artichoke and goat cheese dip, which combines artichokes with creamy goat cheese and tangy lemon juice.

Preparing Artichokes and Aioli Sauce

Preparing artichokes can be a bit tricky, but it is well worth the effort. To prepare artichokes for cooking, you will need to remove the outer leaves and cut off the top of the artichoke. Then, using a spoon or knife, you will need to remove the "choke," which is the hairy, prickly part in the center of the artichoke. Artichokes can be steamed, boiled, roasted, or grilled, depending on the recipe. Preparing aioli sauce is relatively simple, but it does require a bit of time and effort. To make aioli sauce, you will need to whisk together egg yolks, garlic, and lemon juice, and then slowly drizzle in olive oil while continuing to whisk. The mixture will thicken and emulsify, creating a creamy, flavorful sauce.

Conclusion

Artichokes and aioli sauce recipes are classic dishes that have stood the test of time. Whether you are looking for a healthy appetizer or a comforting side dish, artichokes and aioli sauce are sure to satisfy. With so many variations and preparation methods, there is no shortage of ways to enjoy this delicious Mediterranean combo.
Artichokes are a delicious and healthy vegetable that can be enjoyed in many ways. One of the most popular ways is by preparing them with an aioli sauce. Aioli is a delicious and versatile sauce that is made from garlic, egg yolks and olive oil. Combined with artichokes, it makes for an incredibly satisfying and flavorful dish. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making artichokes and aioli sauce recipes.

Selecting the Right Artichokes

When selecting artichokes for your dish, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, look for artichokes that are firm and compact. They should be heavy for their size and have a vibrant green color. Avoid artichokes that are soft, have brown spots or are discolored. Additionally, you can check to see if they are fresh by gently squeezing the artichoke leaves. If they squeak, they are fresh.
Cleaning the Artichokes
Before preparing your artichokes, it is important to clean them properly. Start by removing the lower leaves and trimming the stem. Then, cut off about the top inch of the artichoke and use kitchen scissors to trim the sharp tips of the remaining leaves. Rinse the artichokes under cold water, taking care to rinse out any dirt or debris that may have collected between the leaves.
Preparing the Artichokes
To prepare the artichokes for cooking, you have a few options. One popular method is to steam them. Place the artichokes in a pot with a few inches of water and steam them for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the leaves are tender and come off easily. Another option is to boil the artichokes. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the artichokes and boil for about 30 to 40 minutes. Again, the leaves should be tender and come off easily when pulled.

Making the Aioli Sauce

Aioli is a simple sauce that can be made with just a few ingredients. To make a basic aioli, you will need garlic, egg yolks, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Start by crushing the garlic in a pestle and mortar or mincing it with a knife. Then, whisk together the garlic and egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually add the olive oil, whisking constantly, until the sauce has thickened. Add lemon juice and salt to taste. You can also add other flavors such as mustard, herbs, or spices to give your aioli sauce an extra kick.
Whisking the Aioli
When whisking your aioli, it is important to do so slowly and steadily. Adding the oil too quickly can cause the aioli to break and become runny. To prevent this, start by adding the oil drop by drop and whisking thoroughly after each addition. As the sauce begins to thicken, you can add the oil in a steady stream while continuing to whisk.
Storing the Aioli Sauce
If you have any leftover aioli, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep in mind that the garlic flavor will become stronger over time. To keep the aioli fresher for longer, store it in an airtight container or jar and cover the surface of the sauce with a layer of olive oil to prevent it from drying out.

Serving Artichokes and Aioli Sauce

Once your artichokes and aioli are ready, it's time to serve. Start by placing the artichokes on a platter or individual plates. Serve the aioli sauce on the side for dipping. Another option is to drizzle the aioli sauce over the artichokes before serving. You can also garnish the dish with fresh herbs or lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor.
Pairing Artichokes and Aioli Sauce with Wine
If you plan to serve artichokes and aioli sauce with wine, it's important to note that the strong garlic flavor of the aioli can make it difficult to pair with many wines. For the best pairing, choose a light-bodied white wine with a high acidity, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. These wines will help to balance out the strong flavors of the aioli and complement the delicate flavors of the artichokes.
Adding Variations to the Recipe
While the basic recipe for artichokes and aioli sauce is delicious on its own, there are many variations you can try to mix things up. For example, you can add roasted red peppers to the aioli sauce for a sweeter flavor. You can also sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the artichokes before serving or add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce for an extra burst of tanginess.

Conclusion

Artichokes and aioli sauce are a classic combination that is both delicious and healthy. By selecting the right artichokes, cleaning and preparing them properly, and whisking the aioli sauce slowly, you can create a dish that is sure to impress. Whether you're enjoying this dish on your own or serving it to guests, use these tips to ensure the best possible outcome.
