To get started, make sure your outdoor cooking setup is ready with the right BBQ grills and outdoor cooking supplies.

Ingredients

• 4 artichokes
• 200 g ground beef
• 100 g mozzarella
• 1 shallot
• 1 roll of puff pastry
• 1 egg
• 50 ml white wine
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt to taste

Preparation

Start by chopping the shallot and sautéing it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook for about 2 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, mozzarella, and the beaten egg. Mix everything together well.

Peel the artichokes and cut them in half, then soak them in water with lemon juice to prevent browning. Cut the puff pastry into squares large enough to wrap each artichoke half. Place one artichoke half on each pastry square, add a teaspoon of the beef filling on top, and fold the pastry into a neat little bundle.

Set up your Weber barbecue for indirect two-zone cooking (piling the coals on one side of the grill) at a medium temperature between 180 and 200 °C. Place a ceramic plate on the grill for even heat distribution. Once hot, arrange the artichoke bundles on the plate and cook for about 35 minutes. For the best results, consider upgrading your setup with quality home improvement tools and reliable outdoor patio furniture for a comfortable cooking experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen artichokes for this recipe?

Yes, frozen artichokes work well. Just thaw them completely and pat dry before using to avoid excess moisture in the pastry.

What if I don't have a Weber barbecue?

You can use any grill or even an oven. For a similar smoky flavor, try using a charcoal grill or add wood chips to your gas grill. If cooking indoors, a baking sheet works fine at 200 °C.

How do I prevent the pastry from getting soggy?

Make sure the artichokes are well-drained and the beef filling is not too wet. Cooking on a preheated ceramic plate or baking sheet also helps create a crispy bottom.

Can I prepare these in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the pastry bundles a few hours ahead and keep them in the fridge. Add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if they go straight from fridge to grill.

What sides go well with this dish?

A fresh green salad or grilled vegetables are perfect. For a complete outdoor dining experience, set up a stylish dining table and add some outdoor decor to create a welcoming atmosphere.
