Directions:

  1. Aioli - In a small container or bowl, add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, zest, thyme, sugar, salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to serve. This can be made the day ahead.
  2. Vinaigrette - In a 13x9 glass (no metal) pan, add the olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper and mix well and set to the side.
  3. Artichokes and Onions - These should be thawed, more room temp vs cold where there could be additional liquid in the them. Make sure to dry them off with a paper towel. Cut the artichokes in half, end to end; and skewer 1-3 of the halves alternating with 1-2 of the whole onions, depending on the size of your skewer.
  4. Marinate - Add the artichoke and onion skewers in the 13x9 pan with the marinade. When you first put them in the pan, I take a brush and make sure to coat all sides of the skewers. Cover with plastic wrap for 1-8 hours. More time - more flavor. If you can, half way through marinating, brush them again and roll them over in the pan to cover all the surface of the vegetables.
  5. Grill - About 5-6 minutes on each side, on medium heat (a bit off to the side). I brush with the leftover marinade during cooking and grill until golden brown.
  6. Serve - Plate along side a bowl of the aioli and a few lemon wedges for a great side dish. They are absolutely delish!
  7. Marinating time is not included in total prep time. Also note - I did not soak the skewers. Since these are cooked pretty quickly, I don't find the need to soak them, and they do have some moisture from the marinade. But be careful of flare ups. Make sure to cook off to the side a bit where they don't get any flames.
