Paleo Grilled Artichokes
Greetings Earthlings!
Artichokes are hands down my favorite vegetable! I started eating them when I had two front teeth and I've had wild cravings for them ever since. There's two options in this post. You can just steam them and stop there or, you can go the extra mile and throw them on the grill with herb butter. It's like heaven in your mouth, I promise it's worth the extra work. Here's how to do them Paleo Grilled Artichokes!
Ingredients
- large artichokes - 2
- EVOO - 1 tbsp
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Prep the raw artichokes by cutting of the top with a serrated knife. I usually cut about an inch off
- Get out some scissors and snip the poky end off each leaf
- Also cut the bottom stem of the artichoke off so they will sit flat in the pot
- Place a steamer screen in the bottom of a large pot and bring 4 inches of water to a boil so that the water just comes up over the screen
- Steam for 40-50 minutes on medium heat, make sure to check your water 1/2 way through because it can dry out sometimes depending on how hot your burner is!
- Remove from the pot, let cool for 5 minutes and cut in half vertically
