This artichoke dish makes the mundane into a real show stopper - as a side dish or as an appetizer. The slightly charred outer leaves creates a smoky flavor throughout the artichoke. Ingredients:
4 large artichokes |
1/2 cup red wine vinegar |
1/2 cup light olive oil |
1 teaspoon granulated garlic/garlic powder or 4 or 5 sliced garlic cloves |
1/2 teaspoon dry basil |
1/2 teaspoon dry oregano |
1/2 onion - thin slices |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Slice artichoke tops off, trim stems. Boil or steam artichokes until bottoms pierce easily or petal pulls off easily.
2. Drain artichokes and allow to cool. Cut each in half lengthwise and remove fuzzy center and any purple tipped petals.
3. Mix marinade in a large plastic bag and add cooked artichokes. Coat on all sides with marinade. For best flavor marinate overnight in the refrigerator or a minimum of 1 hour. Turn the bag over a few times during the marinating process.
4. Remove artichokes from bag and place cut side down on medium hot grill. Grill until lightly browned (5 to 7 minutes). Turn over and drizzle some of the remaining marinade over the artichokes. Grill until the petal tips are lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes more.
5. May be served warm or cold.
