Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
• 4 large artichokes, 10 to 12 ounces each
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
Directions:
Total grilling time: 4 to 6 minutes
1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2 Cut the stem off each artichoke, leaving about 1/2 inch attached. Peel off the dark outer leaves until you expose the light green, yellowish leaves underneath. Lay each artichoke on its side and cut off the top half so you have just the firm base to work with. Cut each base in half lengthwise through the stem and drop each half into a large bowl of water mixed with the lemon juice (to prevent discoloration).
3 One at a time, lift the artichokes from the water and use a teaspoon to scoop out all of the fuzzy choke and purplish leaves. Cook the artichokes in the boiling, salted water until you can pierce them easily with a knife, 12 to 15 minutes, but don’t overcook them or they will fall apart on the grill. Drain the artichokes in a colander and place in a large bowl. While still warm, add the oil, oregano, granulated garlic, and salt. Toss gently to coat the artichokes. (The artichokes may be made up to this point and refrigerated for up to 4 hours. Bring to room temperature before grilling.)
4 Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F).
5 Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the artichokes over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until well browned and warm, 4 to 6 minutes, turning once. Serve warm with the butter.
