Arde Shawke

Ingredients:

- 4 large artichokes
- 2 lemons (for juice)
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the Artichokes:

1. Fill a large bowl with water and squeeze the juice of one lemon into it.

2. Trim the stems and outer leaves of the artichokes. Cut about 1/3 off the top of each artichoke and immediately rub the cut edges with the remaining lemon to prevent browning.

3. Remove the tough outer leaves until you reach the softer, inner leaves. Trim the pointed tips of the leaves with kitchen scissors.

4. Cut each artichoke in half and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.

5. Place the cleaned artichokes in the lemon water to prevent discoloration.

Cook the Artichokes:

1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.

2. Add the artichokes and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

3. Drain the artichokes and set them aside.

Prepare the Middle Eastern Flavors:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.

2. Squeeze the juice of the second lemon into the mixture and whisk until well combined.

Finish and Serve:

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan.

2. Brush the artichokes with the Middle Eastern flavored olive oil mixture.

3. Grill the artichokes for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop grill marks and are infused with the flavors.

4. Place the grilled artichokes on a serving platter, drizzle with any remaining olive oil mixture, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

5. Serve warm or at room temperature.
