i've never been a fan of artichokes until last year and for that reason, i've never attempted to cook the vegetable unless it came from a can. artichokes can be intimidating to work with because of the way they look.
for dinner, i decided to grill up some artichokes. i was inspired by luna park restaurant in the city. their grilled artichokes were the bomb!

2) while steaming the artichokes, prepare marinade in a shallow dish.
3) after artichokes are steamed, cut them in half and marinate artichokes for 2-3 hours.
4) heat grill on medium high. grill artichokes cut side up for ten minutes then flip artichokes over and grill for five minutes.
my favorite part... peel leaves off and dip into aioli sauce and scrape of the meat with your teeth! enjoy!
