Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Using a vegetable peeler, peel dark green areas from stem and base of artichoke. Quarter each artichoke. Using a small, sharp knife, cut out the choke and remove the purple, prickly tipped leaves from the center of each wedge.
- Place finished artichokes in a large bowl of cold water and squeeze 2 lemons into the water and stir. Continue with remaining artichokes.
- Once finished, drain the artichokes and place into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 12 minutes.
- Drain the cooked artichokes and place onto preheated grill. Cook until tender and lightly charred in spots, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, add remaining lemon juice (1/3 cup) parsley, garlic and salt and pepper, to taste. Gradually drizzle in olive oil.

GRILLED ARTICHOKES WITH WHOLE GARLIC BULBS
Steps:
- Remove papery skin from garlic heads. Slice off top quarter of each head to expose the clove ends, leaving heads whole.
- Cut lemon in half and squeeze juice into a large bowl filled with water.
- Cut off the end of stem and top quarter of each artichoke. With scissors, cut off prickly points on the ends of leaves. Quarter artichokes, remove the choke and immediately immerse artichokes in lemon water to keep them from turning brown. Put a plate on top of artichokes to keep them from bobbing to the surface.
- Cut six sheets of heavy-duty foil about 12 inches square. In each one place a garlic bulb and four artichoke quarters, which have been lifted directly from the water without being drained.
- Put a tablespoon of butter onto each artichoke, sprinkle with oil and top with a sprig of fresh thyme or 1/3 teaspoon dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. As if wrapping a gift, pull two sides of the foil together so that they overlap, then roll up the ends of the other two sides so that juices are sealed in.
- Put foil packets on grill over hot coals and cook for about 40 minutes, turning several times. Serve directly from foil.
