Although I have eaten artichokes since I was a teen, I too have never had them grilled. What a thought…lol…definatly on the list for next summer.

This is a great recipe! I love artichokes, and this brought a whole new level of flavor. I made a few adjustments to allot for time and space. I didn’t soak in lemon water, just rubbed a lemon all over it. I also didn’t have a grill, so I seared each sides in a pan. I will definitely make this again!

No, they are not completely edible, unless you want a lot of extra fiber in your diet.

I’ve only had stuffed artichokes — baked. We usually just scrape the leave across our teeth. Is this version completely edible?

We grilled artichokes for the first time this past weekend. Simply delicious. Can’t wait to try the Aioli. @Hedy .. removing the tops also removes the thorns.

greeleygirl – The top is pretty much inedible, and there are thorns on the tips of the petals. The thorns will soften somewhat during cooking, so trimming them is optional. I just like to avoid them, and I think the presentation is better with them trimmed.

I’ve never tried this, I always cook them whole, after trimming the stem. Why do you cut off the top and 1/2″ from the tip of each petal? I want to learn!

We love artichokes, but almost always just steam them and serve with garlic butter. I’m excited to try this!
