Lolinda's grilled artichokes are a must-order. They're perfectly paired with a large cut of meat at the restaurant, and, just in time for summer barbecues, they're also super easy to make at home.

Dip the leaves in a delicious lemon aioli and you have the perfect start to a meal. Fire up the grill!
