Grilled Artichokes - Best Way to Eat Artichokes! image

Easy recipe for the non-culinary school folks who just like to eat artichokes. Boil and grill. This is a recipe from trial and error, so some culinary people may have issues with how long it's cooked, etc. But it's just, plain good this way. My wife and and I just can't eat artichokes any other way now. Read the recipe, then be sure to look at any comments for any improvement or preferable changes. Lawry's® isn't necessary, but adds some flavor.

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 whole artichoke
¼ cup butter, cut into small cubes
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)

Steps:

Trim artichoke stem and about 3/4 inch of the top using a knife. Trim thorns from leaves using scissors.
Place artichoke into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, at least 1 hour. Drain and cool artichoke, 15 to 30 minutes.
Preheat grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Remove leaves from artichoke and scrape the hairy part from heart using a spoon with light pressure; discard hair. Place leaves and heart into a vegetable griller. Sprinkle butter over leaves and heart; season with garlic powder and seasoned salt.
Place griller on the preheated grill and cook, shaking griller occasionally, until edges of leaves are charred, about 10 minutes.
