How To Cook Grilled Artichokes<\/h2>\n

Artichokes are one of the first foods that the Pilot and I would make to go along with our dinners. When we first started dating, money was tight so instead of going out to eat, we\u2019d share an ahi tuna steak and cook two artichoke hearts as our fancy dinner at home. The Pilot is kind of the artichoke king and over time, he\u2019s shared the method to cook them perfectly. They can seem like an intimidating veg \u2013 they\u2019re covered in battle spears for goodness sake \u2013 but they\u2019re a simply-prepared and nutrient-dense side.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the step-by-step artichokes recipe!<\/p>\n

How to Prepare Artichokes<\/h3>\n

Artichokes need a bit of a trim before you cook them. You\u2019ll pull off the artichoke leaves, trim the top and the stem, and scoop out the chokes.<\/p>\n

After trimming, place the artichokes in a bowl of cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning. You can also rub lemon juice on the cut areas of each artichoke, but I find it much easier to just dunk them in lemon water.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll boil the artichokes for 20-30 minutes or until tender. Alternatively, you can steam the artichokes for 20 minutes. Check to see if they\u2019re done by piercing the stem of one with a fork to see if it\u2019s easily goes through.<\/p>\n

Once they\u2019re done, you\u2019ll have the choice to either eat them like that, sprinkled with salt and pepper, or grill them cut side down. Lightly charred grilled artichokes are next level delicious! Either way, they\u2019ll be amazing with your dip of choice (see options in the recipe below).<\/p>\n
