Servings 4
Ingredients
- 4 small artichokes
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter 4oz
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh chopped oregano
- 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim the tops of the artichoke by slicing about an inch from the top. Cut the stems from the bottom.
- If your artichokes still have the little thorns on the petals you can trim the tips with scissors.
- In an Instant Pot place the water and the artichokes stem side down.
- Set the Instant Pot to high pressure and cook for 10 minutes with 2 minutes on natural release.
- Let the artichokes cool while you make the butter dip.
- Melt the butter in a small pan and add the garlic, oregano and cheese.
- Half each artichoke lengthwise and drizzle the olive oil over them. Place on the grill with the inside of the artichoke on the grates.
- Grill for about 2-3 minutes or until the inside starts to get charred. Watch them as they burn fast.
- Turn the artichokes over and repeat on the other side.
- Once the artichokes are ready, place them on your serving dish and spoon the melted butter mixture over each artichoke.
- Serve at once with extra Parmesan and fresh oregano if desired.
