GRILLED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON MAYO DIP

GRILLED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON MAYO DIP 2 to 4 Whole Artichokes olive oil, to taste lemon juice, to taste For Basting: 1/2 c. butter, melted 1 tsp. minced garlic 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 1 tsp. kosher salt 1/2 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning Lemon Mayo Dip 1/2 cup Best Foods Mayonnaise 1 to 2 tsp. lemon juice Fill a large pot (that can hold the artichokes side by side) with water and bring to a boil over the stove. Add some olive oil and lemon juice to the water, to taste. Cut the top section (so you catch the sharp ends of the leaves) off the artichoke. Cut a little off the stem and any stray little leaves off the stem. Add the artichokes to the boiling lemon water and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until outside leaves pull off easily. While the artichokes are boiling, mix up the lemon mayo dip and set aside in the fridge for later. When cooked, remove from water and place the artichokes upside down to cool and drain. Cut the artichokes in half and remove the fuzzy center. Combine the basting mix and brush all over the inside of each artichoke half (try to reserve a little for the end of grilling). Grill, open side down over medium high heat. When the edges get nice and toasty, flip over and brush the insides again with any remaining butter/seasoning mix. Serve hot with the chilled lemon mayo dip.
