Ingredients
- 6 globe artichokes
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Green Goddess Dressing, recipe follows
- Lemon wedges, for garnish
Directions
Slice the tops off the artichokes, pull off the small leaves, trim the stems and snip off the thorny tips. In a large pot, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon kosher salt, the juice of 1 lemon and the artichokes. Cover and steam until the artichoke bottoms pierce easily, 20 to 40 minutes, depending on size. Drain the artichokes.
When cool enough to handle, cut each artichoke in half lengthwise. Scrape out and discard the fuzzy center.
Preheat a grill to medium direct heat.
Brush the artichokes with the oil, season with salt and pepper and grill, cut-side down, until lightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and grill briefly to heat through.
Arrange the artichokes on a platter, drizzle with some of the Green Goddess Dressing and garnish with lemon wedges.
Green Goddess Dressing:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chervil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
- 3 fresh chives, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 anchovy fillets, chopped
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
Combine the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, parsley, chervil, tarragon, chives, garlic, anchovy fillets and lemon juice in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add a teaspoon of honey, or to taste. With the machine running, drizzle in just enough oil to thicken slightly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

This dip was amazing! I didn't have creme fraiche so I used sr cream , and I couldn't find the chervil but it was still awesome. The artichokes weren't done enough so next time I will boil them in more water. This is easily going to replace my old stand by of just butter and lemon.

I saw the show and I was intrigued by the green goddess dressing so I made it to accompany some local organic grilled Mexican squash that I had on hand, everyone raved about it. What BF says is true, everyone thinks they do not like anchovies but when they are not told there are anchovies in a dressing they think it's great flavor.
