4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 -1 onion (chopped)

8 artichokes, quartered and choke removed, soaked in a large bowl of
water
salt & pepper

Dipping Sauce:
1 and 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Best foods light or vegan)
1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard (grey poupon for more kick)
3 tbsp. Minced capers
3 tbsp minced shallots
4 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs (chives, thyme, basil etc)- or more

Directions

Directions:

Place Olive oil, vinegar, wine, garlic, onion, and water in a large
saut� or soup pan and place on burner, bringing it to a simmer. Drain
artichokes and discard water. Add the artichokes, cut side down in a
single layer in the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat and
cover the pan. Cook until the artichokes are barely tender, about 15
minutes. Remove the artichokes from the pan, season with salt and
freshly ground pepper, and grill for 4-5 minutes until nicely
browned.

For a faster recipe, steam artichokes until slightly underdone. Then baste with a little olive oil and grill.
