Recipe - Fire-Roasted Artichokes With Almonds

8 Jumbo artichokes
12 Cloves garlic; thinly cut or sliced up
1 cup Almonds; thinly cut or sliced up
3 tablespoon Sea salt
3 tablespoon Freshly ground black pepper
2 Lemons, zested, seeded,
peeled; and finely chopped
1 One half cup Fresh oregano leaves
1 One half cup Extra virgin olive oil

Preheat barbecue or grill.

Cut pointy tops and tips of jumbo artichokes off by about 1One half inches. In
a mixing bowl, mix garlic, almonds, salt, pepper, chopped lemons and
oregano leaves until well blended. Spread artichokes apart, using fingers
until they are open like flowers. Divide the oregano mixture among
artichokes and stuff it down between the leaves. Drizzle 4 to 5 tablespoons
olive oil over each artichoke and place flowers up into coals or on top of
grill. Cook, turning occasionally, for 1 hour. Outer base will char and
become inedible, but the inside will be fully cooked and amazing.
Yield: 4 servings
