I’ve got something to eat your brie with.
It’s an artichoke! Yes, really.
So. Here’s the plan.
Get your brie cheese ready, boil your artichokes for 20 minutes to soften ’em a bit, then place both the cedar plank + brie AND artichokes on the barbecue at the same time.
Grill, sister. Grill.
While everything is grilling, pour some wine. Or grab a beer! I recently had a lovely tangerine beer. Now, spend approximately 30 seconds whisking together this quick and easy spicy lemon aioli. Get your trail mix and honey ready for the brie!
Pull everything off the grill at once.
Quickly pour the honey and scatter trail mix all over the brie. Serve the chokes with the aioli. Sip your drink, eat your melting cheese and dunk each tender artichoke leaf in this spicy, creamy dip.
Love life.
And who said multitasking was hard?
Recipe for the grilled artichokes + spicy aioli is over on the PBS Food Blog today! Get.it.

jenna
July 14, 2012 at 8:25 amI used to totally HATE beer!! But…we have been going to a few different breweries around here and I am actually starting to really like it now! so weird.
jamie
July 14, 2012 at 8:37 amI am the same way! Hated beer all my life, but now I am starting to like it for whatever reason. Have you ever tried Banana Bread Beer? Delish!

July 14, 2012 at 6:25 amI learned the beauty of artichokes while living in Cali. Totally love them grilled dipped in a mustard-butter sauce. Ever been to Rutherford Grill in Rutherford? Their veggie plate is TOPS. It has a grilled artichoke on it. To.die.for.
Happy Saturday 🙂

July 14, 2012 at 9:25 amyumm! the best artichoke i’ve ever had (besides the simple ones my dad and mom would make for us growing up with their secret dipping sauce) was at the ivy in los Angeles. i would probably never go back there for i believe it has turned into a paparazzi zoo, but it was SO good. pretty sure it was grilled but had some sort of herby-bread crumb thing going on. delish!!

July 14, 2012 at 10:03 amThis looks so simple and delicious! I wish it wasn’t foggy and cold in SF right now. So not grilling weather 🙂
Sarah
July 14, 2012 at 10:26 amI hear you about the grill. It may be in the 100s outside, but I love that grill! Have you tried marinating the chokes first? Balsamic, garlic, oil, etc…so delish! And it’d work well with the lemon aioli too, I think. 😀

July 14, 2012 at 10:37 amI’ve never actually cooked an artichoke – I love that you can just pop it on the grill like that!
Kim

July 14, 2012 at 12:50 pmThis makes me want to get over my grill fear…I’m always terrified I’m going to blow it up or lose my eyebrows or something.

July 14, 2012 at 1:36 pmI would still love a grill tutorial!! Any interest??? I’m clueless!!

July 14, 2012 at 2:26 pmI had no idea you could grill an artichoke! This looks phenom.

July 14, 2012 at 4:00 pmyum! i love grilled artichokes!
Emily
July 14, 2012 at 7:15 pmOMG I love grilled artichokes! In all honesty I’m not usually a fan of artichokes for some reason but anything and everything is awesome when grilled including artichokes. I can’t believe how many times I just typed the word “artichoke” correctly.

July 15, 2012 at 7:10 amArtichokes on the grill–why didn’t I think of that? I’ll pretty much throw anything on the grill. It always tastes so much better than from the stove or oven. Thanks!
Rachel
July 15, 2012 at 1:55 pmUm, dumb question…do you eat these the same as if they were just steamed?? I e never had a grilled artichoke before.
Liz
July 15, 2012 at 6:53 pmI thought I was the grill queen (and the artichoke queen) but I’ve never thought of grilling artichokes before!
I have the same question as Rachel, above me. How do you eat these? Presumably, even with a combination of boiling/grilling, parts of the leaves are still too fibrous/woody to be eaten.
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe
July 15, 2012 at 8:57 pmI’ve been wanting to try grilled artichokes – these look amazing!
Jessica
July 16, 2012 at 8:49 amI just recently had artichokes for the first time where I did not hate them and I’ve sort of been craving them ever since. This is an awesome way to get some greens into my diet….which is generally lacking in them.

July 16, 2012 at 2:59 pmYum. I’ve only actually tried this out at restaurants.
you’ve motivated me to make a homemade version!
thanks Jenna.
