Best Grilled Artichoke W Creamy Butter Dip Recipes

GRILLED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON GARLIC AIOLI

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 CREAMY LEMON DIP

Steps:

• Fill a large pot (that can hold the artichokes side by side) with water and bring to a boil over the stove. Add some olive oil and lemon juice to the water, to taste.
• Cut the top section (so you catch the sharp ends of the leaves) off the artichoke. Cut a little off the stem and any stray little leaves off the stem. Add the artichokes to the boiling water and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until outside leaves pull off easily.
• While the artichokes are boiling make the dipping sauce. Mix up the lemon and mayo and set aside in the fridge for later.
• When cooked, remove from water and place the artichokes upside down to cool and drain.
• Cut the artichokes in half with a large sharp knife and remove the fuzzy center (also known as the choke) with a spoon.
• Combine the basting mix and brush all over the inside of each artichoke half (try to reserve a little for the end of grilling). Grill cut sides down over medium high heat. When the edges get nice and toasty, flip over and brush the insides again with any remaining butter/seasoning mix.
• Serve hot with the chilled lemon mayo dip along with lemon wedges.
