Grilled Artichoke with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette1 Artichoke 1 Lemon1 tsp Sea Salt3/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar2 Tbsp Honey3 Tbsp Dijon Mustard1 Tbsp Whole Grain Mustard2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive OilIn a large sauce pan, bring about 2 inches of water to a boil. Add salt and juice of the lemon. Trim artichoke, cutting the pointy tops of the leaves and shortening the stem. Cut in half, add to boiling pot of water and cover. Steam for 30-40 minutes or until the artichoke is soft enough to poke with a knife. Drain artichokes and scrape out the fuzzy insides of the choke. In a bowl whisk together vinegar, oil, mustards and honey until incorporated. Generously drizzle artichoke on all sides with vinaigrette. Heat up grill (I used a stovetop grill) and grill artichoke, flipping to grill and heat all sides. You can drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
