Hate to toot my own horn, but I can't get enough of these. Try sprinkling a little grated parmesan on the grill after basting with the butter. I love shallots now, on everything.

I thought these were great. I did refer to my cookbook as to preparing the artichoke before boiling it - removed the choke, removed the discolored leaves, cut the top inch or so off the artichoke and then snipped the tips off the remaining leaves.

This is my first time making artichokes and theses were sooooo amazing and easy. The grilling really does make a difference. These were better than I've had in a restaurant, and my boyfriend said they were the best he's had in his whole life. I used more garlic and shallot than called for and it turned out great. A tip to keep your artichokes under water while boiling is to invert a steamer on top of them. Serve as well with mayonaise and fresh lemon wedges for a variety. Oh, and by the way, a great way to remove the choke is to use a grapefruit spoon (if you have it)- it's easy to get it out whole that way! Hope this helps!

This was wonderful. I added a bit more garlic and shallots. Also, right before putting them on the grill, I put balasmic vinegar over top. I don't think I will artichokes any other way from now on, this is the way to go.
