Grilled Artichokes

So along with the homemade mayo, we needed to make some artichokes to go along with it.  We picked some up at Trader Joe's so they were the smaller globe ones.  I didn't exactly have a recipe, I just kind of made it up as I went along.

First, I trimmed the artichokes and cut them in half, removing the choke.
Then, I added some lemon, garlic, salt and pepper into the water and then the artichokes.

 Always have bruschetta to eat while cooking :)

Eric proud of his new, just built grill. 
 I made a little olive oil mixture with 3/4 cup of olive oil, 4 cloves of garlic and some salt and pepper.
 Baste prior to putting them on the grill and during.




 I grilled them for about 5 minutes on each side.  Continue to baste with olive oil mixture
 Keep them on the grill until they achieve this nice charred color








So yummy! 
 Oh and you can use the remaining olive oil mixture as a dipping sauce as an alternative to the mayo.
