Grilled Artichokes

Servings: 4
Ingredients:

2    Fresh artichokes                         -- chopped
1    Lemon                               4 tb Olive oil
2    Garlic cloves, coarsely             8 tb Water

Trim the stems and the spiny tips off the artichoke, slice in half lengthwise
and rinse well under running water. Scrape out the choke. Using half a lemon
for each artichoke, squeeze the lemon juice over all the cut sides.

Using thick, heavy duty aluminum foil, make baking cups large enough to
hold each artichoke half. Place an artichoke half in each cup, cut side
up, sprinkle with garlic and a drizzle of olive oil over each one. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Add 2 tb of water to each half and cover the artichoke
halves with foil.

On a closed grill over medium-hot coals, grill the artichoke halves for 1
hour or until tender when pierced.
