Alcachofas a la Brasa

Alcachofas a la Brasa is a deliciously smoky grilled artichoke dish that captures the essence of Spanish cuisine in a healthy, keto-friendly manner. This dish brings together tender artichokes with a hint of garlic and fresh herbs, perfect as a side or appetizer.

Ingredients

• Artichokes - 2 whole
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Prepare the artichokes by trimming the stems and removing the tough outer leaves until you reach the tender inner leaves.
2. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke in the center using a spoon.
3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create the marinade.
4. Brush the marinade generously over the cut sides of the artichokes.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Place the artichoke halves cut side down on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes until they are charred and tender.
7. Flip the artichokes and grill for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side.
8. Remove from the grill and serve warm, drizzled with any remaining marinade.
