Instructions

Step 1: Place chopped thyme, lemon juice and zest and garlic in a glass bowl. Microwave on high heat for 30 seconds then let the herbs seep in the warm olive oil while you prepare the artichokes.Prepare a large pot with an inch of water at the bottom and a steamer rack. Prepare the artichokes. Have lemon wedges ready. If you want a nice presentation, use scissors to snip away the pointy tips of the artichoke leaves. As you trim the artichokes, rub the cut areas with juice from the lemon wedges to prevent the artichokes from turning brown. Use a vegetable peeler to cut away the thick outer layer of the artichoke stems. Trim the stems to 2 inches from the base of the artichoke.

Ingredients:

• lemon wedge
• lemon juice
• artichoke
• olive oil
• vegetable
• garlic
• herbs
• juice
• thyme
• water
• base
• dry seasoning rub

Equipment:

• peeler
• microwave
• kitchen scissors
• bowl
• pot

Step 2: Cut off and discard the top 1/2 inch of the artichokes.

Ingredients:

• artichoke

Step 3: Cut the artichokes in half. Use a strong metal spoon to scoop out the fuzzy chokes and the small inner artichoke leaves. Rub lemon juice all over the inside and exposed cut areas of the artichokes.

Ingredients:

• lemon juice
• artichoke
• dry seasoning rub

Step 4: Heat the water in the large pot with a steamer rack on high. When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium high and place the artichoke halves, cut side down on the steam rack. Cover. Steam for 20 minutes or until you can easily pull off the outer leaves, and you can pierce the heart easily with a knife. The artichokes can be just a tiny bit less cooked than would be typically perfect for steamed artichokes, as you will be cooking them further on the grill.Prepare your grill for direct, high heat. Toss the artichokes in the garlic, lemon and thyme infused oil coating liberally.

Ingredients:

• infused oil
• artichoke
• garlic
• lemon
• thyme

Step 5: Sprinkle artichokes with salt and pepper.

Ingredients:
