Grilled Artichoke Recipe - Carciofi in Gratella - How To Grill Artichokes

By Kyle Phillips, About.com

You might not think to grill an artichoke, but Artusi did, and included a recipe for grilled artichokes:

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Artichokes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

"Everybody knows that artichokes can be grilled and served as an accompaniment to a steak, or any other sort of roast," writes Artusi.

"In this case you will want tender artichokes. Trim the stalks at the base, leaving the leaves intact. Spread them out well so that the seasoning, which should consist of just olive oil, salt, and pepper, can penetrate.

Set the artichokes upright on the griddle, pinning them together with skewers through their bases if need be to keep them upright. Baste them again when they're partially cooked, and keep them over the coals till the outer leaves begin to burn.
