Roasted Artichokes
To get an extra dimension of flavor, you can also cook the artichokes on a charcoal grill over a low flame. Makes 2 servings as part of a light luncheon; 4 servings when used as a first course or part of an antipasto plate


Ingredients:

2 large artichokes, prepared a la Grecque
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Instructions:
1. While the artichokes cook, heat the oil and garlic in a microwave oven for 2 minutes on high, or gently steep in a small saucepan on the stove over low heat, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 500F.

3. Remove stems from artichokes for another use.

4. Halve the artichokes lengthwise, and remove choke and inedible inner core.

5. Put artichoke halves in a small roasting pan, making sure they are not crowded together.

6. Brush with flavored olive oil.

7. Season with salt and pepper.

8. Roast 17 to 20 minutes, turning once and basting as you do. When done, artichokes should be nicely browned around the edges.
