Ingredients

  • 2 Artichokes, cleaned, halved and steamed
  • 3 T Wasabi mayonaise
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 T extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Wasabi Dip
  • 3 T mayonaise
  • 1 T wasabi mayonaise
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • salt & pepper

Method

  • 1) Whisk well (but do not emulsify) wasabi mayonaise, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Adjust to taste - different brands of wasabi mayonaise will require adjustment of lemon juice and olive oil. Marinade should be tangy (lemon) but with a kick (wasabi).
  • 2) Pour over room temp. steamed artichokes in a zip-loc bag. Refridgerate for 20-30 minutes while the grill warms up.
  • 3) To prepare the dip, mix the plain mayonaise, wasabi mayonaise, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Adjust flavor as necessary. This can be done a day ahead.
  • 4) Grill the artichokes on both sides over a medium hot grill - about 3 - 5 minutes per side. The artichokes are already cooked, so grilling is just meant to warm them back up and impart the grilled flavor and texture.
  • 5) Serve with the wasabi dipping sauce and enjoy!
