Fire-roasted artichokes with almonds

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 Jumbo artichokes
12 Cloves garlic; thinly sliced
1 cup Almonds; thinly sliced
3 tablespoons Sea salt
3 tablespoons Freshly ground black pepper
2 Lemons, zested, seeded, peeled; and finely chopped
1½ cup Fresh oregano leaves
1½ cup Extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Pre-heat barbecue or grill.

Cut pointy tops and tips of jumbo artichokes off by about 1-½ inches. In a mixing bowl, mix garlic, almonds, salt, pepper, chopped lemons and oregano leaves until well blended. Spread artichokes apart, using fingers until they are open like flowers. Divide the oregano mixture among artichokes and stuff it down between the leaves. Drizzle 4 to 5 tablespoons olive oil over each artichoke and place flowers up into coals or on top of grill. Cook, turning occasionally, for 1 hour. Outer base will char and become inedible, but the inside will be fully cooked and amazing.

Yield: 4 servings
