Instructions: To make the Garlic Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, orange juice, and salt. Refrigerate until needed.

To make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, tarragon, lemon juice, and salt. Set aside.

Trim bottom outer leaves from artichokes and cut off any spiny leaf tips with kitchen sheers. Peel stems. Cut artichokes in half and with a small, sharp knife, scoop out and discard the hairy chokes. Add artichoke halves to the large bowl and toss with the olive oil mixture to prevent discoloration. Marinate in olive oil mixture at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove from bowl; reserve marinade.

Place artichoke halves in center of cooking grate. Grill until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes, basting frequently with reserved olive oil marinade.

Serve grilled artichokes with any remaining marinade and garlic mayonnaise.

This recipe yields 5 servings.

Wine Recommendation: While artichokes take to the grill, they"re no friend of the grape because a chemical in them makes wine taste bitter or flat. Enjoy your wine with the next course instead!

Beer Recommendation: Try a light, clean, uncomplicated Pilsener to cleanse and refresh the palate. Treat yourself to the real deal from the Bohemian city of Pilsn, or check out some of the new Pilseners made in America.

Comments: Grilled artichokes are wonderful - and especially tasty snuggled in this garlicky sauce. Select artichokes that are deep green, relatively heavy, and with tightly closed leaves.
