How to grill artichokes

Boil artichokes for ten minutes. If the heart gets too soft you boiled it too long.

Remove from boiling water and shock in an ice bath for a few seconds.

Notice the hairy section? Not edible.

Dig out all the hairs with a spoon.

Drizzle olive oil on artichokes liberally, but do not drench.

Add sea salt and pepper to taste.

Grill till slightly charred in the center then turn over for a few minutes. Then you're ready. Goes together very well with tiger sauce for dipping. See that recipe here too.
