Grilled Artichokes

Grill artichokes on your Caliber grill to create a delicious and healthy appetizer for your guests! Cut off the tops of the artichokes with a knife and trim the sharp points with scissors. Break off small outside leaves towards the bottom of the stem. Soak the artichokes for 10 minutes in a bowl of cold water with one lemon wedge squeezed in to avoid discoloration.

Steam artichokes for about 25-30 minutes in a pot on your indoor or outdoor cooktop. Allow to cool before cutting lengthwise. Remove choke with a spoon. Squeeze remaining 3 lemon wedges in a bowl for the basting and artichoke sauce. Stir in olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Brush the artichokes with the oil mixture and place them on your preheated Caliber grill. Grill the artichokes for 5 to 10 minutes, basting with the dip and turning frequently, until the tips are a little charred. Serve immediately. A great healthy appetizer!

Ingredients:
2 artichokes
1 lemon, quartered
3/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt

Caliber Testimonials

“THE single biggest factor in your Kitchen build/reno are your Appliance Decisions! I’ll run through all of mine in another post, but for now I’ll chat about why I chose a Caliber Range.” Alison Kent, Creator of wares, Writer of all things food, and Designer of spaces

“I love the range. The pure power of the burners is like a dream come true for a chef. The oven heats up so fast and has perfect even heat distribution.” Executive Chef Adrian Giese, Mastro’s LA

“I have two grills in my backyard – they’re both from Caliber and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The gas powered Caliber Rockwell with its ingenious disappearing lid is a work horse for when I require consistent heat for perfect grilling. And the Caliber Pro Kamado has been a complete game changer when it comes to anything charcoal.  It starts with the design allowing for a single pound of fuel to last longer in it than any other kamado-shaped grill in the industry. But the amazingness really gets going with its industry exclusive rotisserie and rear blaze basket. The proof is in the eating, and my chickens, roasts, lamb etc cook better on the Caliber Pro Kamado than on anything I’ve ever cooked on outside before.” Chef Sam Zien, Sam the Cooking Guy TV Show

“The food I get off the Caliber Pro Kamado is simply more moist than anything I was able to achieve with my old ‘Egg’ smoker – So good, I bought another for my dad” Adam R – Indianapolis, IN
