Origin of the Recipe

Artichokes have been enjoyed since ancient times, originally cultivated by the Greeks and Romans. Grilling them, however, became popular in Mediterranean and Californian cuisine, where fresh artichokes are abundant. The smoky flavor complements their natural earthiness, making them a favorite for summer cookouts!
