CHILI SPICE's Note:

With garlic, butter and shallots this recipe will be sure to please any artichoke fan! Grilling gives these artichokes a nice smoky flavor.

• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 artichokes, halved and choke scraped out
• 1 teaspoon salt & fresh ground pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 shallot, chopped finely
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 cup white wine (a dry wine)
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:

1. Preheat and outdoor grill for low heat.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the artichokes into the boiling water. Boil for about 30 minutes, or until a fork is easily inserted into the stem of the artichokes. Drain and set aside.
3. Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat, add the garlic and shallot. Cook just until fragrant, remove from heat. Add white wine, salt and pepper (to taste) and stir to combine.

Hubby and I thought this was good. I am not experienced with artichokes, this was my first time ever using fresh ones, and I did not realize tha tyou don't get very much out of 1 artichoke. I made the full recipe, and like hogs, we ate the whole thing ourselves, 2 halves each. I served it with grilled chicken. The sauce for this is very good, and I think would be good on most anything from pasta, to other meats, etc. etc. Thanks for posting.
