These grilled baby artichokes would be a wonderful addition to your Memorial Day grilling. They are delicious and a bit different from the usual Memorial Day fare. If you can’t find baby artichokes, then you can grill the large ones, but you will have to remove the choke. Most of the time, baby artichokes don’t even have a choke.
We served our artichokes with this grilled salmon and red rice. If you like grilled salmon, this is an excellent recipe. This was my first time cooking red rice, so I cooked it according to the package directions without any embellishment so that I could see what it really tasted like, and I really liked it. It is chewier and nuttier tasting than brown rice.
