Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Remove bottom leaves and tough outer leaves from each artichoke, leaving tender heart and bottom. Trim about 1 inch from tops of artichokes.
Place artichokes in a Dutch oven filled two-thirds with water; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until a leaf near the center of each artichoke pulls out easily.
Place artichoke halves, cut sides down, on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until golden.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onion to pan; saut 4 minutes or until tender.
Add garlic; saut 4 minutes or until onion is golden.
Add 2/3 cup water and next 3 ingredients (through beans); cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Place bean mixture in a food processor; process until smooth. Keep warm.
Combine wine, sliced garlic, and shallot in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates.
Add broth; simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 3 minutes).
Spoon about 1/2 cup bean mixture into each of 6 shallow bowls, and top each serving with 2 artichoke halves.
Drizzle about 1 1/2 tablespoons broth mixture over top of each serving; sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon parsley and about 1/4 teaspoon thyme.
