grilled artichoke hearts

perfect for valentine’s day? i like the idea of meals cooked on a theme, so leave it to me to serve heart-shaped brownies and artichoke hearts on valentine’s day.
ingredients:
- -2 artichokes
- -1/4 cup fresh parsley – chopped
- -garlic salt
- -1 tbs lemon juice
- -1 tbs olive oil
directions:
bring 4 cups of water to a boil. cut artichokes in half from stem to top. trim the tips of the leaves using kitchen scissors to remove the thorns. boil until fronds are easy to peel off, about 20 minutes. remove and drain cut side down on a towel. brush with olive oil, lemon juice and sprinkle with remaining toppings. grill until blackened (i used a panini maker), about 8 minutes.
never eaten an artichoke? here’s a great how-to article!

jes, i’ve heard of someone telling their husband they were pregnant by cooking an entire meal around a ‘baby’ theme. baby asparagus, baby corn, etc. hehe, i’ve been keepin’ that one up my sleeve for a (much) later use!
that is adorable!! can’t wait to hear when you use that idea (much) later :)
I know this is bad but I’ve never had artichokes before, this makes me want to try them! Sounds yummy!
