Grilled Artichokes with Lemon Garlic Sauce
Grilling makes everything taste better and these Grilled Artichokes with Lemon Garlic Sauce are proof of that!
Ingredients
- 2 large artichokes
- 2 lemons
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- Kosher Salt
- Cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayo This one has zero carbs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Halve the artichokes. Using a tablespoon or other large metal spoon, scrape the fuzzy choke and purple leaves out and carefully shave the tough outer layer of the stem off.
- Lay the artichoke halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Rub them with a bit of the olive oil and press the 2 cloves of the minced garlic between the leaves. Squeeze the juice of both lemons, reserving 1 tablespoon for the sauce, into a bowl (save the lemon rinds) with the rest of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss the halves in the olive oil/lemon mixture.
- Meanwhile, place the ingredients for the sauce in a food processor and blend until smooth. Remove to a small bowl and place in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. Once it boils add salt and the lemon rinds. Place the artichoke halves into the pot and boil for 20 minutes. Remove from the water, drain, and place back on the baking sheet.
- Place the artichoke halves on the grill cut side down and grill, basting with the remaining olive oil mixture. Turn artichoke halves every 5 minutes until they begin to char. Remove from the grill.
- Top with the sauce.
