Description

For this herbed grilled artichokes recipe, artichokes are seasoned and tenderized by boiling in white wine, basil, thyme, and liquid smoke before grilling.

Ingredients

1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 lemon wedges
4 artichokes, halved and choke scraped out
olive oil-flavored cooking spray
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

1 Fill a stockpot half full with water; stir in white wine, olive oil, salt, Italian seasoning, liquid smoke, basil, and thyme. Squeeze lemon wedges into mixture; drop wedges into the pot.
2 Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat; add artichoke halves. Boil until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer artichokes, upside down, to a paper towel; drain and cool to the touch. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
3 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Lightly coat cooled artichoke halves with cooking spray.
4 Cook artichoke halves on the preheated grill until edges are slightly charred. Drizzle with melted butter; serve.
