12cupswater
1tbspkosher salt
3garlic cloves,smashed
2lemon,halves
½cupolive oil
2garlic cloves,minced

Preparation
Prepare the artichokes by trimming off the tops and stems. Slice each artichoke in half and use a spoon to remove the fuzzy choke from the center. Immediately rub with lemon wedges to prevent discoloration.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the salt, smashed garlic cloves, and lemon halves to the water, squeezing the lemons first.
Add the artichokes and boil for 15 to 20 minutes until softened and fairly tender.
Remove the artichoke halves from the water and let them dry on a baking sheet.
Combine olive oil and minced garlic in a bowl. Brush each artichoke on all sides with the garlic and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place artichokes on the grill cut-side up.
Grill for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and grill cut-side down for another 3 to 4 minutes until tender and charred.
Serve with favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
