Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• Fill a large stock pot with 4 inches of water and bring to a boil.
• Using a sharp knife, cut off 1/2 an inch off the top of the artichoke. Trim the artichokes using kitchen shears and peel the stem with a vegetable peeler until the stem is white. Cut the artichokes in half. Using a spoon, scoop out the choke. Add some kosher salt to the pot to season the water and place the artichokes in the pot cut side down.

Brush the entire surface lightly with olive oil and place directly on the grill rack over med-high heat. Grill the artichokes for 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly charred. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
