We had our first grilled artichoke at The Cheesecake Factory. I came home and tried to find a similar recipe to make at home. This recipe is amazing! The artichokes come out perfectly every time and are a family favorite.

I have made artichokes for the last 20 years but I never have grilled them. Today at the market they had baby artichokes and for some reason I thought "these need to be grilled." I figured they would need to be steamed a bit first so I started looking for recipes and found this one. I have never been to this restaurant but if I am ever in the area I will be sure to stop if this is an example of their cuisine. Who would have thought how amazing that basting sauce would be or that you would even be able to taste it after grilling but these were EXECELLENT!! I didn't have all of the ingredients to make the dipping sauce so I made my usual aioli garlic mayo instead and I swear these were almost better than the NY Strips we grilled along with them! I will definitely be making these again! Watch out when you baste then on the grill though, the sauce is very flamable as you might think it would be.

I make these all summer when artichokes are semi-affordable but the basting mixture must have garlic and lots of it.

Oh my goodness! I am so thrilled that this recipe is posted on here! Frank Ostini is a culinary genious and these artichokes are his masterpiece!!! We've eaten at the Hitching Post many times and we've tried to duplicate this recipe at home, but never were able to get it quite right. Don't let the difficulty rating scare you from trying this. It is actually fairly simple so I personally don't think it should have been rated "medium" for the difficulty level...it's only a little time-consuming, but so worth it. These bad boys are incredible!!! Thanks so much!!!

There are a few steps in making this, but none are all that difficult, as long as you stick to the cooking times, the recipe is fairly simple, and very good.

I love artichokes and this is hands down the best artichoke I have EVER HAD! Who knew grilling a choke with lemon, butter, and white wine could be so tasty??

Some extra things I did that made it extra good:

-Tuck thin slices of garlic into almost every leaf of the artichoke
-Sprinkle the choke with lemon juice while steaming
-Serve with a sauce made of really good mayo, lemon juice, butter, and a little cayenne pepper
