Recipe
Ingredients
- 3-4 large artichokes
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tsp champagne or white wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, champagne vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
-
Prep the Artichokes: Clean and trim the artichokes, cutting them in half and removing the choke.
-
Steam the Artichokes: In a large pot with a steaming basket, bring water to a boil. Ensure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the steaming basket. Place artichoke halves in the basket, exposed side down, and steam for about 25 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the heart with a knife.
-
Grill the Artichokes: After steaming, remove the artichokes from the water and brush them with some of the prepared vinaigrette. Transfer to your preheated Arteflame Grill and grill for 15 minutes, or until nicely charred.
-
Serve: Drizzle the grilled artichokes with the remaining lemon vinaigrette or serve it on the side for dipping.
Tips
- For extra flavor, try adding minced garlic or fresh herbs to the vinaigrette.
- If you don’t have an Arteflame Grill, a traditional grill works well too.
- Serve with a creamy dip, such as aioli, for an extra indulgence.
Variations
- Try using balsamic vinegar instead of champagne vinegar for a sweeter tang.
- Add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese right before serving.
- Marinate the steamed artichokes in the vinaigrette for 30 minutes before grilling for deeper flavor.
Best pairings
- Pair with a crisp white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
- Serve alongside grilled seafood or a fresh garden salad.
- Complement with a crusty baguette to soak up any extra vinaigrette.
Conclusion
Enjoy this delicious, healthy side dish at your next spring cookout, perfectly prepared on your Arteflame Grill.
