** be sure to remove any purple tipped leaves, they are very bitter and don’t taste good

** rub artichokes with fresh lemon to help prevent any oxidation

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 halves of a lemon (squeeze lemon to get the juice into the water)

Boil for approx. 10-12 minutes or until knife tender (knife should insert and release easily)

Remove from the water, drain well and place into a bowl for seasoning

Lightly oil and season the artichokes with garden rub (season to taste)

Open the grill and carefully add the artichoke hearts, heart side up.  watch for any signs of flare ups

Cook on the leaf side for approx. 2 minutes to get some color

Using a long pair of tongs, flip the artichokes over and start to grill the heart side

Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes or until all sides of the artichoke are grilled to your desired doneness

** Add the butter during the last 3 minutes of cooking to lightly melt the butter, make sure it doesn’t separate

Once grilled to your desired doneness, turn off the grill and remove the artichokes using tongs

Plate the artichokes on a plate

Season to taste with the Rub-A-Dub rub
