Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

18 Baby Artichokes

Bamboo Skewers -- Soaked

1 Cup Kalamata Olives -- Pitted

Garlic Mayonnaise Sauce:

1/2 Cup Mayonnaise

1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice

1 Clove Garlic -- Minced

Kosher Salt -- To Taste

Mustard-Lemon Marinade:

2 Lemons -- Juice Only

1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 1/2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard

1 Tablespoon Sherry Vinegar

2 Cloves Garlic -- Minced

1/8 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

 

Prepare the mayonnaise sauce, whisking the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Refrigerate covered for at least 1 hour.

 

Prepare the marinade in a broad, shallow dish.

 

Trim any tough edges from the artichokes and slice them in half vertically.

Using a small spoon, remove the tiny fuzzy choke near the base of each half.

Place each artichoke in the marinade promptly to avoid discoloration. Cover

loosely and let sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes.

 

Heat the grill to medium. While the grill heats, drain the artichokes, reserving

the marinade. Thread an artichoke half on a skewer, followed by 2 olives and

then another artichoke half, avoiding crowding. Repeat with the remaining

ingredients and skewers.

 

Grill the kebobs uncovered over medium heat for 15 to 18 minutes, turning to

cook on all sides and brushing with the reserved marinade at the same time. When

done, the artichokes should be tender and darkened with a few crisp edges. If

grilling covered, cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with mayonnaise sauce.
