Grilled Artichokes

Our grilled artichokes are an Italian culinary specialty, originating from the Puglia region in southern Italy. These artichokes are prepared by grilling them, which gives them a deliciously smoky flavor and a tender texture on the inside with a crispy skin on the outside.

The preparation of Pugliese grilled artichokes begins with the selection of fresh, small artichokes to ensure even cooking. The hard leaves and unnecessary parts of the artichoke are removed, leaving only the heart and the tender leaves. The artichokes are then cut into quarters or halves, depending on their size, and marinated in a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped garlic, fresh parsley, salt and pepper for a few hours to infuse the flavors.

After marinating, the artichokes are grilled on a barbecue or in a hot oven until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside. Grilling or baking allows the artichoke's natural flavors to develop and create a unique and delicious texture.

They can be enjoyed as is as an appetizer, or used as a garnish in other dishes, such as salads, pastas, pizzas or risottos, to add a touch of Italian authenticity.

Pugliese grilled artichokes are prized for their delicious taste and unique texture, which combines crispness and tenderness. They are also rich in fiber, antioxidants and vitamins, making them a healthy and tasty option for your meals. The Mediterranean flavor of these grilled artichokes is appreciated by Italian food lovers and can be a great choice to add a touch of sophistication to your tastings or recipes.
