BBQ Artichokes with Cajun Remoulade | Recipeish | Gustus Vitae

No longer just vehicles for scooping sauce, BBQ'd artichokes bring forward both a unique texture and a flavor all of their own: a firmer outside skin, a creamer inside, and that undeniable deliciousness that comes from roasting over an open flame. Pair that with a spicy, savory, velvety homemade Cajun-style remoulade for dipping, and you've got one heck of an appetizer. 

  • Yield: Shared, it's a perfect appetizer for 4-6 persons
  • Time: About 1 hour, including 50 minutes unattended.
  • Storage Notes: Will keep for one day if you're prepping in advance.
  • Difficulty: Easy.

Ingredients

Directions
  • Rinse artichokes and peel off any large outer leaves that are not adhering closely to the bulb.
  • Slice in half, lengthwise, and using a knife, cut out the furry section above the heart and below where the leaves begin.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and place a steamer on top: steam for 15 minutes, remove from heat, and allow to cool.
  • Drizzle olive oil over insides and rub in, before sprinkling with Probiotic Ocean Salt.
  • Bring a BBQ up to medium low heat.
  • Cook, face down, for 8 minutes, then turn 90 degrees, and cook a further 8, before removing and tenting under foil.
  • While the artichokes are grilling, prepare the sauce.
  • Finely dice jalapeños, and gently combine in a large bowl with mayo, Smoked Spanish Paprika, Taste of Cajun, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, jalapeño liquid, and dijon mustard, before transferring to a smaller dipping bowl.
  • Serve as you like: these are lovely hot, room temperature, or refrigerated, and will keep for a day in the fridge if you plan on making in advance.
