Description

The grill adds so much flavor to the chokes that you don’t really need a sauce, but I am a sucker for a dipping sauce so I made this yummy sauce to go with it, inspired by the Chef’s Dressing at Houston’s Restaurant. If you don’t feel like making the dipping sauce, the chokes are perfectly wonderful with a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt and fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE GRILLED BABY ARTICHOKES:
  • 9 whole Baby Artichokes, Sliced In Half, Stems And Fuzzy “Chokes” Removed On The Inside
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper To Taste
  • 2 whole Lemons
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • ½ cups Light Mayonnaise
  • ½ cups Low Fat Greek Yogurt
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 ounce, fluid Anchovies, Oil Drained
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Thyme Or Tarragon
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Pepper

Preparation

Boil a pot of water. Go ahead and remove a few of the outer leaves of the artichokes, de-stem them, and slice them in half. Using a butter knife, remove the fuzzy “choke” inside; they may not have that much of one in all of them (which is the beauty of baby artichokes!).

Add the baby artichokes to the boiling water and boil for 10 minutes. In the meantime, prepare your grill for medium direct heat.

While the artichokes are boiling, go ahead and mix all the dressing ingredients with an immersion blender or food processer. Put in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Remove the artichokes from the boiling water. Drizzle the artichokes lightly with olive oil, sea salt and pepper and then grill the artichokes for about 10 minutes until char marks have formed on the inside layers.

To serve, slice the 2 lemons in half and squeeze the juice on the artichokes. Serve with dressing on the side.

Be amazed at how easy and baby artichokes are to prepare versus regular size artichokes! Hooray for baby artichokes!
