Recipes and Cooking BBQ & Grilling Grilled Vegetables Grilled Baby Artichoke Antipasto Be the first to rate & review! Baby artichokes are really the underdeveloped buds that form along the lower stalk of an artichoke plant. They require less prep than full artichokes because they don't form the inedible fuzzy choke.

Squeeze juice from lemon halves into water; add four of the oregano sprigs, two of the garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons coarse salt. Working one at a time, snap off any loose outer leaves from artichokes. Use a serrated knife to trim stem and 1/4 inch off top. Halve lengthwise, then add to pot. Bring water to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and cook about 10 minutes or until just tender when pierced with a knife; drain. Wipe out pot and return to stove top over medium-low. Add 1/3 cup olive oil and remaining eight oregano sprigs and four garlic cloves. Heat 1 to 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant. Add vinegar and remove from heat. Preheat grill to medium-high. Toss artichokes and peppers in a large bowl with an additional 2 tablespoons olive oil to coat. Grill in a grill basket, stirring occasionally, until artichokes are lightly charred and peppers are softened, 7 to 10 minutes. (Or thread artichokes and peppers onto 12-inch skewers. Grill 7 to 10 minutes, turning once.) If you like, grill lemon halves cut sides down until charred. Add grilled artichokes and peppers to oil mixture in pot. Add olives; toss to coat. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the crushed red pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 1 week, bringing to room temperature before serving. If using, serve with grilled lemon halves. Serves 12.
