Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lemons, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons kosher salt
15 baby artichokes, trimmed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Canola oil, for brushing
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
Pinch red pepper flakes
Grilled Italian bread, for serving

Steps:

  • For the artichokes: Fill a large pot with cold water. Squeeze the lemons into the water, and then drop them into the pot. Add the olive oil and salt. Add the artichokes and cook until a paring knife inserted into the center meets with a little resistance, about 15 minutes. Drain and shock in cold water for 30 seconds. Drain again and transfer to a sheet lined with paper towels to dry.
  • While the artichokes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: Whisk the mustard, honey, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high. Halve the artichokes, brush with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the vinaigrette, herbs and red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with grilled Italian bread.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large artichokes
1 lemon, quartered
¾ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with cold water. Squeeze the juice from one lemon wedge into the water. Trim the tops from the artichokes, then cut in half lengthwise, and place halves into the bowl of lemon water to prevent them from turning brown.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Add artichokes to boiling water, and cook for about 15 minutes. Drain. Squeeze the remaining lemon wedges into a medium bowl. Stir in the olive oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush the artichokes with a coating of the garlic dip, and place them on the preheated grill. Grill the artichokes for 5 to 10 minutes, basting with dip and turning frequently, until the tips are a little charred. Serve immediately with the remaining dip.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

9 baby artichokes (about 2 pounds)
2 lemons, cut in half
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 tablespoons good-quality balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Prepare artichokes. Remove the tough outer leaves of the artichokes and trim the stems. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer green layer from the stem. Cut off the top third of the head to remove the tough ends of the leaves, then split it down the middle. Rub with lemon as you work so they don't turn brown.
  • Mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic. Lay the artichoke halves cut-side up in a roasting dish and drizzle with the olive oil mixture. Roast in the oven until the artichokes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • To serve, top with the cheese and garnish with the parsley.

CHARGRILLED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON

Try this tangy artichoke recipe - the oil will keep them for a week in the fridge

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Side dish, Snack, Starter

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes enough to fill 2 x 500ml jars

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 baby globe artichokes
2 unwaxed lemons
250ml white wine vinegar
2 tbsp light olive oil
2 tsp mixed peppercorns
sea salt flakes
500ml bottle light olive oil

Steps:

  • First set a bowl of cold water to the side, and squeeze in the juice of one of the lemons. To prepare the artichokes, remove the outer leaves with a small sharp knife. Keep going through the layers until you reach the paler, greenish-yellow leaves. Trim the stalks to about 5cm, then cut the heads into quarters. As you prepare each one, rub all of its cut sides with one of the squeezed lemon halves, then place in the bowl of lemony water.
  • Remove long strips of zest from the other lemon. In a large saucepan, bring a few inches of water to the boil. Add 100ml of the vinegar and the artichokes, and simmer for 15-18 mins, depending on the size of the artichokes, until tender. Drain and tip into a bowl, toss with 2 tbsp oil, and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper.
  • Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat until hot. Griddle the artichoke quarters, a few at a time, until golden and charred at the edges.
  • In another saucepan, warm the olive oil, lemon zest and peppercorns together until the zest starts to sizzle. Fish it out with a slotted spoon once it turns bright yellow. Warm the remaining vinegar in another pan until almost boiling.
  • Pack the artichokes and lemon zest into jars or heatproof containers, pour over the warmed vinegar first, then top up with the warm oil to cover. Seal while warm, then allow to cool. Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Yield Makes 8 (first course or side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lemon, halved
8 medium artichokes
3 small shallots, sliced into thin rings
1 carrot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cups water
3 strips lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, divided
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Trim artichokes into hearts:
  • Add lemon halves to a large bowl of cold water, squeezing to release juice.
  • Cut off top inch of 1 artichoke and bend back outer leaves until they snap off close to base (keep stem attached). Discard several more layers in same manner until you reach pale yellow leaves.
  • Cut remaining leaves flush with top of artichoke bottom using a sharp knife. Trim dark green fibrous parts from base and sides of artichoke.
  • Peel sides of stem down to pale inner core. Put in lemon water while preparing remaining artichokes.
  • Cook shallots, carrot, garlic, and seeds in 1/4 cup oil in a 4-to 5-quart heavy pot (pot should be wide enough to hold artichokes in 1 layer with stems pointing upward) over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add water, zest, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Stand artichokes in pot and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover artichokes with wax paper, then a lid, and simmer over medium-low heat until bases are just tender when pierced with a knife, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer artichokes to a dish and reserve cooking liquid. When artichokes are cool enough to handle, halve lengthwise. Scoop out and discard inner choke (fuzzy center and any sharp leaves).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown cut sides of artichokes in 2 batches, about 2 minutes per batch, transferring to a serving dish. Add reserved cooking liquid to skillet along with remaining tablespoon lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Boil vigorously 3 minutes, then stir in parsley and pour over artichokes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right artichokes: Look for baby artichokes that are small, firm, and have tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim the artichokes properly: Cut off the stem and the top third of the artichoke. Then, use kitchen shears to trim the sharp points off the remaining leaves.
  • Soak the artichokes in acidulated water: This will help to prevent the artichokes from browning.
  • Cook the artichokes over medium-high heat: This will help to caramelize the leaves and give them a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Baste the artichokes with olive oil and lemon juice: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the artichokes with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include melted butter, olive oil, or lemon-herb vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

Grilled baby artichokes are a delicious and healthy appetizer or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their slightly smoky flavor and tender texture, grilled baby artichokes are a surefire hit at any gathering. So next time you are looking for a unique and flavorful dish to serve, give grilled baby artichokes a try!
