Equipment

  • Grill
  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 Artichokes
  • 2 Lemon
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 Tsp Salt

Paleo Lemon Aioli

  • 4 Oz Paleo Mayo Primal Kitchen
  • 1-5 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 1/2 Lemon Juiced
  • 1/2 Tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat Grill
  • In a dutch oven (or large pot with lid), fill with water and boil. It's best to steam them first before grilling.
  • Carefully cut 1/2 inch off the tops of each artichoke (pointed ends) and thrown into pot with 1 lemon cut in half. If you want a pretty presentation, take kitchen shears and snip away all the pointy tips of the leaves (optional).
  • Boil with lid for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from water on a plate and cut the artichokes straight down the center through the stems.
  • Brush on olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice of 1 lemon, and salt on all 4 halves.
  • Place artichoke halves cut side down on the grill for 5-10 minutes. You want markings so try not to move them around.

Paleo lemon aioli

  • Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend the lemon juice, paleo mayo, garlic, dijon mustard, and salt. Dip away!
