Grilled Artichokes

== Description ==
This is a recipe for delicious, asian-inspired, grilled artichokes.
* 4 large artichokes
* ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
* ¼ cup water
* ¼ cup soy sauce
* ¼ cup olive oil
* 1 tablespoon minced ginger
== Directions ==
# Slice artichoke tops off, crosswise. Trim stems.
# Boil or steam artichokes until bottoms pierce easily, or a petal pulls off easily.
# Drain artichokes and cool. Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise and scrape out fuzzy center and any purple tipped petals.
# Mix remaining ingredients in a large plastic bag. Place artichokes in the bag and coat all sides of the artichokes.
# For the best flavor, marinate in the mixture overnight in the refrigerator but marinate at least one hour.
# Drain artichokes. Place each cut, side down, on a grill over a solid bed of medium coals or a gas grill on medium. Grill until lightly browned on the cut side, 5 to 7 minutes.
# Turn artichokes over and drizzle some of the remaining marinade over the artichokes. Grill until petal tips are lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes more.
