Grilled Artichoke Recipe (pict)

[Tri Tip]

Cut the artichoke in half.
Clean out all the hairs with a spoon.
Soak in cold water with a table spoon of lemon juice for 15 minutes. (only if you want a bright nice color, if it’s just for me I skip this step)
Drain the lemon water and boil halves in fresh water for 12 minutes.
Take em out and let the hot water evaporate off.
Brush with olive oil and add Kosher Salt and Cracked Pepper, Or bbq rub or any other seasoning you like.

Grill for about 3 minutes per side. I like mesquite lump (good on veggies).
Enjoy,

Mike

I'm going to have to try that one. Our family loves artichokes. Some of our BBQ Central friends may not have much experience with them. It's kind of a California thing. I'm sure there will be some cracks about that.

Can't say I've ever tried any, but if Nicks been eatin'em and they haven't killed I'll have to give 'em a shot. They look great!

Nick is right. It's not just a Cal think. I've also been eating them for 50+ years. They are one veggie that ships well.
