Boil a pot of water. Go ahead and remove a few of the outer leaves of the artichokes, de-stem them, and slice them in half. Using a butter knife, remove the fuzzy inside, they may not have that much of one in all of them (which is the beauty of baby artichokes!). Add the baby artichokes to the boiling water and boil for 10 minutes. In the meantime, prepare your grill for medium direct heat.

While the artichokes are boiling, go ahead and mix all the Chef’s Dressing ingredients with an immersion blender or food processer. Put in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Remove the artichokes from the boiling water. Drizzle the artichokes lightly with olive oil, sea salt and pepper and then grill the artichokes for about 10 minutes until char marks have formed on the inside layers. To serve, slice the 2 lemons in half and squeeze the juice on the artichokes. Be amazed at how easy and baby artichokes are to prepare versus regular sized artichokes! Hooray for baby artichokes!
